1100 V-Star (Part 2) Complete Failure

I exhausted all of the resources I had at my disposal, and tried everything that I knew how to try, but it was all for nothing as it turns out. Unless someone can present a new and compelling thing for me to try, I am throwing in the towel on this one.
Major bummer, but sometimes you just have to call it.

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

[@darrellessex9198]

Ended up being carb needed rebuilt runs esculent now

[@deanlaughlin2482]

I would pull those carbs and give them a good cleaning.

[@darrellessex9198]

I guess I’m gonna do a thorough carb job been messing with this issue for a month now same problem

[@darrellessex9198]

Ok I watched the second video. I am exactly where you’re at. Did you ever happen to find out the fix Sherwood appreciate the info your vids were great.

[@okay_motorbikes]

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

[@ndepinto1]

Float is prob stuck and dirty carbs.

[@gmcguyver]

Fuel pump pushing fuel past the float needle?

[@chiefjoseph8154]

Give it to me, I’ll have it up and kicking in no time…….patience my son patience.

[@okay_motorbikes]

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

[@knightwolfe858]

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.

[@williamdujkasr3665]

What did you use to set your float level?

[@okay_motorbikes]

The way I check float level is with clear vinyl tubing on the drain, but that wasn’t the issue here

[@williamdujkasr3665]

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

[@okay_motorbikes]

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 👌🏻

[@daleclarkjr]

Needs carbs gone through

your gaz is too old
