The guy I bought it from said he kept it in his barn. The hood is very shiny so I would tend to believe it.

Offers?????

Hood has some cracks but not terrible. Try to get a better hood pic soon. Can't get the pics to upload, if anyone wants pics give me your email and I'll send some.

Sorry guys...I live in Brodhead, WI. It is near the WI/IL border.

I am looking to sell my '83 Vmax project. I purchased the sled to restore, but won't get to it. The motor has 120 lbs. of comp. each side, and has spark. The carbs were really nasty, so I purchased another set. I took the handlebars, tank cover, and airbox off to pull the carbs and replace fuel line...

Well I am contemplating trading my '83 Vmax for a rideable '90 to '94 Polaris RXL. My sled itself is partially disassembled, the handlebars, tank cover, and airbox are off. I bought a nice set of carbs for it, because mine were pretty nasty. I never put it back together because I noticed it needs a ...

I will switch carbs, but I am pretty sure the pilots are clean. I made sure the pilot jets and passages up to the venturi were clear.

I got my Vmax running, but it is a pain to start and only idles on the mag cylinder. It is hard to bring off idle but once it revs up it will idle with the choke on. I sprayed WD around the crankseal and cylinders and couldn't find a leak. The engine has 120 ilbs. of compression and great spark. Doe...

I did get the pilot jets out of the carbs, so I will use them. Thanks anyways.

Hi,
The carbs on my '83 cannot be saved. Has anyone done a swap to non power jet 38's?
If so what are the jetting specs? Also if anyone has a good set of original powerjet carbs that are complete for sale, let me know.
Thanks.
