Re:Change the Float Bowl Needle Valve (and lose your fuel pump) 5 Years ago  
At wits end....

...so to speak.

Did the fuel pump removal. Did the AIS removal. Did the gas cap vent mod.

Used 5/16 fuel line. Used 3/8 fuel inline filter (removed element for testing). Drained tank and cleaned petcock. Removed and cleaned carb twice. Verified I used 2.5 Needle and Seat (checked stamp on side of seat). Removed plastic filter in carb inlet. Reverified float setting. checked and adjusted TPS settings.

Light to moderate acceleration is fine. Heavy to all out acceleration suckes the bowl dry. At this point, if I coast for a few seconds I can accerate lightly again. Top speed (If I accelerate moderately) is 95.

Sunday driving style is fine, but if I was to get on it and go, it sucks (no pun intended).

Thanks in advanced for the help....

By the way, can anyone tell me what should be hooked to the circled item in this picture. There was a piece of vac hose on it, but it was just open to air. The local Yamaha dealer scratched their head and said that they think it is an open air vent. The dealer manual shows it hooking up to a device I donot have (apparently California specific).

Thanks....
