Like to diagnose? Noob trying to start a 1984 V64 - Video included!

The key is you must get your pilot jets cleaned and unclogged, I would check float levels also.

If you go back in with clogged pilot jets you have accomplished little.

That's a nice clean job you did. Thos carbs look like you jst took them out of the box. Do another video when you get them installed and the bike runnning.

NOW you tell me!  

The Clymer manual says if you do not suspect anything wrong do not mess with them, so I didn't.
Started it up-
It runs EXACTLY the same as first video- DOH!!!  

So after reading TLRam1's post, I went to record the turns as I get them out...
I can get to them easily without ripping it apart. So I popped off the cover, and there is ANOTHER protective cover!
Do I need to drill that anti tamper plug out to get to the screws on an '84 V65?
(is there an easier/safer way than drilling it out?)

Just took the pilots out- they needed a cleaning too.
one was turned out 5 turns, another 2 1/2, and the others 3 1/2...
Put them back in tight, and backed off 2 3/4 turns each- like the manual said and ...Whalla!
Started smooth! Idled good! :thumb

Took her on the road...  (I'll post a video of it -FIRST DRIVE for the V65 IN MN!)

She's a Beast again! :beer:
Thanks for the input and tips guys. I'm sure I'll be back for something, until then-
Drive safe, and God Bless!

edit- Here's the video's (they're really short (thanks hunny!)) I put them together as a playlist!

Man she's sounding sweet and strong. Like it just came out of the show room. Congratsulations on getting her going again.
