Drill and tapped an extra drain plug i had for vm carbs and threaded a barb with teflon tape to make my fuel guage to make sure floats are at correct height on my vm carbs.
My concerns are for when bike is running straight up vs on kickstand the reading i have (1st image) for left side carb...
Hey all been a while since i posted on here but ive been around reading old threads finding answers through other people problems for the most part. Now I got my own set of questions that I haven’t found in other threads. (Please link me to others if I overlooked them)
Ive got a 73 motor Hughes...
Yesterday I had swapped my failing BS38 carbs for brand new pre-jetted Makuni VM34 roundslide carbs. The fuel is now running through 2 fuel lines - each going tank to carb separately with shutoff valves and fuel filters in between. It seems to be running well enough to head down the road...
Thanks to all of your knowledge on these forums I have gotten my '75 Standard back on the road after too many years of sitting. I opted for VM34s with pod filters and was unhappy with the fit (and look) of the stock side covers with the new carbs. Aftermarket options seem to be very limited.

Hello all, hope everyones alright. I been on hiatus because my job during summer i cant really do anything working up to 16 hours a day. But im back at it i bit the bullet and purchased vm34s . Not bad easy to put them on and take off and look good. I still have an issue with a sucking noise on...
Anyone else have trouble with customer service from mikesxs? I need a simple throttle cable to fit vm34s but I cannot them to help me with the right part number. I hate to buy and return because of a 25% return fee plus shipping. They always come back with a vague email. Maybe they do not...
Hi All,
Long time lurker first time poster. well I've made comments here and there in the past, but this will be my first thread. I think I'm just looking to document some of what I've done to the bike and see if anyone has any suggestions or similar issues going on, as opposed to asking...
I picked up a used set of carbs (in amazing condition, for a great price). They have the "1" style needle jet, do I need the #2 style needle jet.
Any help would be great. Mostly worked with Dellorto PHBGs for previous projects.
It seems like it would fit. Just curious. I see that MikesXS.com has a pre-made 2-to-1 cable and it would appear that it would work fine for the VM34, but just checking to see if anyone else on here has done that or knows. I made my own 2-to-1 throttle cable and I messed it up a bit. Just a...
Thank you in advance for your help. I just am wrapping up my first build by myself and it has been one looong road. I started in February with a rusty barn find and now have a pretty sweet looking bobber. I recently switched the stock carbs out with brand new VM34 carbs. The rubber connectors...
