  • Help with a 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan 800

    Hi folks,

    Working with my son to resurrect a Vulcan 800. Pulled and cleaned the carburetor. Forgot to check how many turns out the pilot adjusting screw was set at. Any thoughts on where I should start - how many turns out is a typical setting for this carb? Any carb?

    Thanks in advance. You guys are great.

    Sold all my XS's to Eastcoaster but still love to keep up with you guys. This is the best cycle forum on the web.

    After a quick read on vulcanforums, 2 1/2 turns out is what they recommend.
