Okay I feel dumb even asking but what am I missing here. Recently picked up an old Vmax from the original owner with 1000 original miles. Been sitting for the last 5 years for sure. I can’t get this thing to pop off for the life of me. Both cylinders have 136 psi, I have great spark on both cylinders, and it won’t fire off spray or dribbled directly into the plug holes. What bone head thing am I missing? I figured I’d at least get a cough with the combustion trio? Help please! Trying to save some old iron from the scrap heap.
Is the pipe packed full of mice bedding? or air box. Get the old gas out of it.. I tried getting one to pop and the bowls had such crappy gas in it from sitting it wouldn't fire until I cleaned the carbs completely then it fired with one pull.
i am betting on mouse house issues in air box or exhaust.
