Due to their snap together design VF3's tend to put pressure on the reed petals and after a few hrs of run time the reeds tend to hang open. From my exp this is fine if you are a person who rides with the on off on off on off style of throttle control. For those who like linear smooth throttle...

DAG the fittings everyone uses are available here http://www.air-techinc.com/. They are used on ultra light airplane fuel systems, you will need the rubber grommet and the fitting ( FU430 & FU905 ) Drill the tank for the grommet to fit tight, press in the fuel fitting, the fuel fitting expands...

Do yourself a favor and look into a Roto Zip or Dremel and the ceramic WALL Tile cutter that Roto Zip makes. Last cutter you will buy for glass work!!! Take your time, if you move too fast you risk breaking the cutter.

Yes the product he most likely used is surface veiling, and yes it helps prevent the "grid" pattern from woven cloths from printing through the finished gelcoat surface or finish painted surface.

Brian if those carbs have been sitting for a while you might want to check to make sure the needle and seat is not stuck. The smallest amount of corrosion can hang up a needle causing it to either not open allowing fuel to pass or sticking open allowing too much fuel and flooding out the cylinder.

I will save Chris the wasted breath..... Epic ignition properly installed with an electrical system ( IE all cables, battery, stator pickup wires etc, Timing set properly ) functioning 100% and fuel system 100% will not be subject to back firing. A-lot of the issues posted here on the X are...

I think the BOB guys have been up to a lil something back at the shop.....

The adjusters are there, they are capped with a brass plug due to emissions controls that the government mandates on Yamaha. Two ways up getting to the adjusters. 1. drill a small hole 3/32 diameter about 3/16 deep into the brass plug, find a screw a little bit bigger thread it into the hole you...

Only down fall with the vf3 is the snap together design tends to hang the reed petals open. I bought set when they first came out, right out of the package some of the reeds were not seated 100% after a few hrs of run time they were no where near seated .010-.015. If you someone who constantly...

Both locating pins are still there, I spent hrs agonizing over this issue, still found nothing.

Completely agree with you, just wanted to verify that water leak was ruled out. Minus the pitting on the piston and dome this motor looks like it was put together last week. The cross hatch in the cylinder is still perfect, and there is virtually no wear on either piston skirts. Thrust washers...

Both wrist pin's looked perfect, wrist pin bearing on the front cylinder ( not the one that has pitting ) had a little evidence of what looked to be surface rust on the outer edge of the cage. I checked each needle in the bearings for pitting etc and found nothing. As for the inside of the rods...

Just to confirm there are definitely no blown o rings on this motor. Shawn and I tore this motor down together at my place today. Not the slightest sign of water intrusion in the cylinder. No milky oil/water slop in the cylinder, none in the bottom of the cases, not even hint of light surface...
