Motorcycle Repair: Yamaha 750 carb rebuild, yamaha 750, old bike


Question
My wife is rebuilding her yamaha carbs.  She has not rebuilt a carb before.  Can you email us an exploded view of a virago carb?  We have two kits, but it would help if she could see the carb schematic.

Answer
Hi Curt.
 Unfortunately, I do not keep specs or books on every bike out there.  I have manuals for my bike and my wife's bike.  When I get a new bike, the old manual goes with the old bike.

 What you need to do is to get the repair manual for her bike, which will not only have an exploded view of the carbs as well as all of the correct reassembly/adjustment specs.  I can tell you that the Virago carbs are fairly straight-foreward in their design and setup.  She should have little trouble even if all she has is a basic carbeurator book to refer to.

Good luck and ride safe.
