Greetings from Canada's East coast. I'm just joining and I'm in sunny Halifax... okay, sunny for a couple of days anyway. Just took possesion of the family's 1978 DT125E with 8000 km. and thought it might be a good idea to get on the website here. Sounds like lots of folks who know tons of stuff.
I hope your build goes well.
1984 Virago XV1000 question
in Yamaha Customs

Good day all!
Just picked up the Virago and was just looking to see if anyone had any input before I started tearing it apart. Here's the quick story;
Floods BAD on startup attempt. When it occasionally fires up, I have to hold the throttle wide open and it'll shoot fuel out of the exhaust.
It was improperly stored without stabilizing fuel in the tank and I think the carbs will need to be torn apart and cleaned thouroughly to remove varnish and/or gunk to regulate fuel flow properly.
Anyone think that that is the best place to start? Any other ideas?
It's been great riding weather here in Nova Scotia. I hope you are all enjoying the same.
