I have two 1997 Vmax 600 XTC sleds. Last year I discoverred one of them was basically pumping fuel out of the two vent lines on the twin carbs into the belly pan. I clean theb carbs annually but since it was days before a trip north w/ the sleds I took the carb to the dealer where they told me it was a float issue and proceeded to charge me $300 to go through the carbs. I re-installed the day before my trip only to find the fuel was still coming out of the vent lines and into the belly.....I tried removing the zip ties and pointing the lines UP instead of DOWN and the problem went away. Went on the trip only to find the sled used a huge aqmount of fuel compared to the other identcal one. It ran great at idle and high speed but I worried from town to town if I would make it. Oil consumption seemed to be in tune with fuels consumption. At times it seemed like some unspent fuel was blowing through the exhaust. I'm stumped!! Anyone ever had this sort of thing happen??? Any ideas much apreciated since the dealer repair took me for $300 bucks for nothing.....
