Looks to actually be in decent shape cosmetically. Even still has the stock airbox, which BTW I would keep on the bike not only for better running performance wise, but makes for tuning ALOT easier having correct vacuum draws for correct diaphram operation of the slides. All has to work together, including the use of stock airbox. From just the looks of the bike, would be an easy one to get back running correctly IMO.Originally posted by dondons1984 View Post81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment

In all those pics I see the needle jet/emulsion tube is still in there. That needs to come out because stuff gets in there.
If anyone has a couple idle mixture screws for the early carbs don needs 2. I don't have any that aren't broken.Greg

The area n the pictures is the diaphragm area. while it certainly should be clean if someone just finished cleaning the carbs, that area in particular would not cause the bike to run horribly. What do the float bowl areas look like?Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
