*Spoiler Alert* I’m not actually giving up on this rude boi, just relocating it

Dude, V Stars were notorious for clogged jets after a bike sat for a few weeks. I bought one when the guy got disgusted it wouldn't start, I ran a guitar wire through the jets and it fired right up and ran great.

Float is prob stuck and dirty carbs.

I can't take any more of this " tinkering". The floats are definitely sticking or float level messed up. Keep cranking it while playing with the throttle and you will be replacing a starter clutch

You’re absolutely right, the floats were sticking. I very likely did do some damage to the starting system with all the cranking, but the bike is long gone now 👌🏻

With gas that old having been run through the carbs, my bet is a piece of trash was holding the needle off the needle seat just enough so that the valve didnt close causing the flooding issue. Those carbs needed to be cleaned bad.

What did you use to set your float level?
@okay_motorbikes6 ай бұрын
The way I check float level is with clear vinyl tubing on the drain, but that wasn’t the issue here

Ended up being jetted too rich, the owner didn’t want to fool with it anymore so he traded it

Lol, if we still had it I might take you up on that. The owner traded it for a 650. We were going to have to start fiddling with the jetting on it and he didn’t want to fool with it anymore
