I am fairly new to this site, Its great I have a recently purchased vmax 1996 2000 miles on it pretty nice shape. rear fuel pump wasnt working got that replaced runs on both cylinders now but sounds like its dropping a cylinder at idle til you throttle up a little, never had one of these vmaxs always wanted one cause they look awesome like no other. any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated or anything else I should be doing that may have been a issue with these sleds thanks Rick

Hi, Rick welcome to V.V. ! Are you taking 1986 ? Lots of possible causes, from the In tank fuel filter, to the carbs (clean and adjustment) to the spark plugs and/or spark plug caps, electrical connections and even the T.O.R.S. can cause issues. Show us some pictures !
