That virago sounds like me after a night of Stella 😂 one thing is for sure you will give it your all. I know it’s the best way but I would have given up I think, you very rarely call it a day.
Depending on what virago it is David I know what you mean. They are complex bikes in some ways with 2 fuel tanks and side mounted carbs. But funny enough both are running well currently a good 8 months later
Hi Dawson. What bike mate? Virago? They are weird carbs as they sit and function on their sides. The first and main thing they need evert few years is a good carb clean. Then you can use a balancer to check the balance if needed. I also up jetted mine by around 5. So 5 up on both mains.. Hope this helps a little

Does sound alot better with the rejet ,I think I would try spraying some carb cleaner at the intakes
Dosnt need it. This vid is from a few days ago. Another tank clean, another carb clean and some straight pipes later abd it's running beautifully lol
@@motorcyclerescuer Good, glad to hear it
Nice one charlie
Cheers Lee.
I straight piped it yesterday. It's looking great and running great now.
@@motorcyclerescuer Yes i heard it Charlie sounds good i have my xv750 straight piped. Has all the popping stopped now?
It has really yes, not sure why it's stopped on the straight pipes.
@@motorcyclerescuer air/fuel mixture must be better.
Way too small for me but I still love the viragos..
Had a go on a mates 1100 virago quite a few years back ,not my sort of bike though
Its a shame they are so small. That's what I'm debating now with myself in regards to the tank. It needs more bulk.

@@motorcyclerescuer all due to you bro
Hi Charlie when you took the carb bowls of that block bit with 3 0r 4 screws in has a slow running jet in it at the top did you clean that
What this man says is correct it’s fine on throttle but rough on tick over and slow speed
@@chrisktm2010 had the same problem my bike wouldn't idle properly so cleaned idle jet and now runs perfectly
Hi Steve, yes I cleaned them all. I didn't on Sultans as I didn't know they existed lol. But I did mine fully as it desperately needed it.
Any tips for syncing/ tuning these carbs? Thanks

How long has it been sitting Charlie? Ethanol has been the death of many carbs 😞 lol 👍Cheers Charlie
I'm not sure really, my guess is at least 2 years because of the pandemic.
