My threaded hole on the carb joint is too small to put on intake covers. All 3 of the other holes are 6mm. This 4th one looks like someone plugged it and retapped it smaller. FML.

could you help me, How did you find the defect on your jet ski?

Good evening, I'm from Brazil and I'm having trouble finding the solution to the oil problem. The only thing wrong is that the wallcooler is leaking water. I will replace it now, Kawasaki 250 2007

Great job with the 3D printing 👏🏻🇮🇪👍🏻

salut tu n'est pas obliger de retirer le clips de verrouillage des fiche électrique pour les enlever il suffit d'appuyer dessus

That stuff tends to only work on a closed loop pressurised cooling setup as its always suspended in the coolant and if it pushes out it will self seal again , on open loop sea water cooling it will just push it straight out and wont stick in the crack once you go ride it out on the water .

I'm gonna watch all your vids for inspiration before I jump into owning a Cerbera.. Your buggy vids are great to, looks like a good laugh 👍

Just looks amazing with the bonnet off. Makes me think I'd consider driving around without a bonnet to show off the engine, it looks beautiful kinda like a snarling bull haha..

Don't worry your not alone be careful the sly returns or it will pùsh the crank and destroy the motor

What i like about this video is the boy doesn't try to make out that he knows it all, its these guys that help us more than the professionals as their looking at the bike the way we look at our bikes and we only know hows it done by perseverance. and trying this and that till we sort it.

Manifolds off and its ado able job without taking the engine out, ive just done it on my back up on axle stands

I didn’t know a clutch change was an engine-out job on these.

If it was a faulty connector you would have the MIL light on constantly, but I didn't hear the buzzer so could the buzzer and light be faulty too!? Check the wiring and ensure the TPS connectors don't have any breaks in them as well.

Your poor running from my point of view, is your barometric is reading very high unless you're up a mountain! I had this and replaced it (under the top side of the dash) but it didn't solve the issue I was having. Cheap fix but fiddly. Lambda sensors may be on their way out. The ECU Dallas chip packs up on them and makes the ECU forget its parameters and does all sorts of weird sh** if it's still on the MBE ECU. Speak to Joolz at Kits and Classic, Coventry. Might be time to send it off or get an upgrade. Anyways good luck with it. 👍

Good luck

Bonjour, sur la mienne, ça sortait facilement, j'avais une fuite au joint spi de sortie de vilebrequin et j'avais sorti la boite complète avec la cloche

Fantastic car ❤

Came across the video and had to watch it. I was able to grab a free 250x from a house im flipping. It was sitting in the garage. Gets power, 81 hours. Oil same way. Haven't torn engine apart yet but i feel head is cracked

Belt static

so your going to feed nitrous to the monster

At the start of the video, your adaptives are high because your throttle’s are set too low for idle, they need to be around 18% at idle, definitely need to be much higher than the 13% you are showing.

The odd bank Tpot governs the fuelling for the odd bank, and the ignition for both banks. The even throttle pot just governs the fuelling for the even bank. So, what you experienced when you disconnected Tpot 1 and it ran rough, is to be expected - doesn’t mean the even throttle pot is bad. Disconnecting Tpot 2 just forces the ecu to use the value from pot 1 and everything will keep running ok, which is what you experienced. Swap them around (physical move the left to the right and the right to the left) and you should see no difference in how it runs (if both sensors are good).

Which colour throttle pot died? The blue ones aren’t available new anymore.

Howya fella, FYI "Brick House Builds" has just done a VMax restoration that may give you some help 😉👍🏻🇮🇪

That clutch issue is an interesting one. It’ll be good to see which slave you go with in the end, the amount of throw needed and any stops you use if not the original one. Looking forward to seeing you drive the car again!

Looks like your legs will block the intakes🤔. Any progress? 👍🏻🇮🇪

Watched up to half way and it was purring like a kitten - don’t often hear an AJP8 sound that sweet/smooth!

Great to hear the car running again. Did you manage to get the diagnostic software working and which software is your favourite?

I saw you posted on Pistonheads about recharging the AC using bbq gas. Could you please do a video on that when the time comes? I’ve recently got my Tuscan AC back up and running. For me the trinary valve needed some attention with the electrical connections and the heater ECU needed two dinky little transistors changing to get the AC clutch to engage. Those surface mount components are a real eyesight test! Looking forward to your next video. 👍

Brilliant mate, if you get stuck I have quite a few spares for the AJP8. All the best. Kind Regards Neil Sowden

I purchased solid motor mounts. Do you think I will have to loosen the entire motor to replace the motor mount

Whats up? Where is your project at now?

Nice one its sorted, looks and sounds so good with the fcr carbs on it.

If you think a bike is running on one cylinder less than it should, just start it up and remove the spark plug cap from the cylinder you think is not working. The difference will be immediate.

Couldn't you just ceramic coat the headers?

0°C = 32°F Are you sure the temp meter isn't just setup wrong?

The engine looks great now! A few questions for you: Where there any gaskets between the throttle bodies and the head or is it just RTV used? There are gaskets you can buy from Powers for the Speed 6 but they aren’t essential. I was surprised a local firm couldn’t fix the starter for you. Years ago I had a local company in Adelaide rewind my starter of an old merc from the 1950s! Finally, is there a way to test your new clutch before you reinstall the engine and gearbox? Just to check it disengages correctly.

Awesome, I bought one 2 weeks ago also. Getting used to her pull now...wicked machine. Sight unseen 3500.00 Canadian. 57000kms Always wanted one. Good luck with her! Stay safe.

That vgas is a pricey unit. Good luck.

I bought a custom show winning v-max in 2010 for £5000 uk, I thought was perfect. it took 6yrs to fix all the problems, now I absolutly love it.

Do those new carbs use the vmax system?

I had that very model 2 stripe silver on matt black. Full power 2003.

Sounds like v boost engaged from 0 revs instead of 5700. That doubles fuel delivery and flood low revs.

Cable onto v boost mechanism. Seizes a biy

V boost system

Are the flatslides perhaps a bank of 4 that have been adapted to fit and that’d explain the idle control? As for the filler cap just get a secondhand one👍

Seems that it mabybe was rich, smoking from exhaust

Looks like someone put a lot of money on that bike, a lot of extras

I love this bikes, I am riding a Honda Magna here in Thailand, Maybe I will by me a V Max as I need a new project to work with

Good job, sounds good.
