Mine was fine but had it apart. It’s a lot of work to brake the case apart but is always a good learning opportunity. It could be a number of issues. I have not had to deal with that issue.

It was a smaller Lincoln mig

They were mounted like that when I bought it. I sold the bike so can’t check them.

Thanks for your advice. I appreciate it.

Thank you.

No it’s hasn’t effected it at all. My boot will rub on the exhaust a little and leave a little black mark but it hasn’t melted my boot or anything. It’s been a game changer on the bike. It’s not a touring bike now but I can enjoy riding it all day without hurting.

@@dschloe good to know! Thanks

I didn't use any sealant and did not have any leaks.Mine wasn't very old so the seal was still like new.

The one I use has been discontinued but this one looks exactly the same. www.harborfreight.com/automotive/jacks-jack-stands/bottle-jacks/12-ton-airhydraulic-bottle-jack-59425.html

That’s awesome!!! Thanks for sharing that. Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching

Oh man sorry to hear that hope you’re ok.

All the videos I do are on my own bikes. If I had one I’d do it. If I have to opportunity to work on one I’ll definitely video it.

No. Absolutely loved the bike but I decided to sell it. I will have another one someday.

@@dschloe why'd you end up selling it?

@@Rider.WhiteHorse the bike was such a pretty bike and special I was scared to ride it the way I wanted too. I also wanted something for commuting. I sold it and bought two bikes a Goldwing for commuting and an SV650 for playing.

I would defiantly check your petcock for a clog. Also check the vacuum line that goes to the petcock for a leak.

Sorry I can’t translate

If memory serves me right the three nipples are on a bracket that attaches to the main structure. I’ll try and see if I can check my manual for it.

@@dschloe Thanks. I just picked the bike up and I'm currently sorting through it. I guess when I am in there I should change the air filter, is there anything else you can suggest to repair/fix/replace while I in there?

Ok was just a plug In the drain, stuck a small nail up in there and started flowing 👍🏻

You may want to squeeze your hoses. Mine had a suction and would not drain till I removed the cap

Hi Rich, Thanks for watching. It’s been awhile since I did it but yes I’m sure I had to drill the rivet heads off the drill the holes for the self tapping screws. Mine didn’t have any filters either so I put in an inline filter before the carbs. Good luck on your rebuild. Thanks David

@@dschloe I put an endoscope into the tank, it’s just wire mesh covers, so I imagine they do nothing at all.

Thanks for watching. Yes it runs good. I’m still in the break in period so I haven’t run it too hard yet.

Thanks for watching. She’s running like a champ, after the engine rebuild. If you haven’t seen the other videos please check them out. Will be doing a follow up video after the break in process.

Sorry you’re having issues with your carb. Unfortunately I know longer have the Vulcan but from what I remember it was pretty easy to get back on. You may have to heat it a little with a heat gun or a hair dryer. Just make sure it seats completely.

@@dschloe no I have the carb itself back in, I was mainly talking about the two extra lines, pretty sure ones a vacuum line and the other an overflow vent tube, but because I’m not sure exactly how to hook it up, I can’t get it to run right now

I agree. I rally like the mid size lighter bikes. At 6 foot it was a little cramped. But lowering the pegs and raising the bars made a huge difference. I also added a seat cushion that raised me up a little more too. I’ve ridden it for 5 hours straight and was feeling pretty good afterwards.

Thanks for watching. I would try everything before going with an aftermarket carb. But it may work fine.

Thanks for watching. I just let it run with the cap off until the thermostat opens. I squeeze release the hose to help force the air through

Thank you for watching. Keep cracking at it. Will be worth it when you done. These are great bikes. And yes they sounds amazing

Just used a grinder to take the paint off then mig welder. Use the lift all the time and no issues so far.

Where are you located?

Thank you for watching. It probably the reservoir is but I would check over the bike really well to make sure something isn’t putting stress on the motor. Check, oil, Air filter and make sure the Carburetor is not running rich also. Hope you get sorted out ok.

Thanks for watching. Sounds like you definitely have a dirty carb. Give it a good cleaning and check your float level and the needle and seat. Good luck with it and enjoy the bike.

@@dschloe thanks men !🙌🏽

Thanks for watching. I think these bikes are very underrated.

Thanks for watching. I’ve never had one locked in like that. It was pretty frozen in there that’s for sure.

Thanks for watching. That’s why I do these. Good luck with it and have your manual handy. Hope it goes well.

Yes it is but those things happen sometimes.

Thanks for watching. Hope it’s helpful for you.

I have ridden it on some short rides and it feels much better. Feels better on my hips and knees. Can’t wait to do a long ride on it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. Hope you are able to get it out. Hopefully it’s not too damaged to reuse. Maybe soaking it in some solvent would help.

Thanks for watching. If memory serves me right I used a long torques socket from harbor freight. But it’s been a while since I’ve done it and have sold the bike so I can’t check. Hope that helps.

I sold the bike a while back. Big mistake I loved that bike and wish I still had it. But it was still working well. It didn’t give me as much stopping power as I’d hoped but it did make a difference

@@dschloe i think i will do this to my 2017 v strom too but if i go this route i will do a master cylinder changement too. that will do the real big difference in breaking power and smoothness..i will like your vid and save it. hopefully it will help me. all 650s are the same bikes from what i see...forks and breaks specially..thank u for uploading this.

Thanks for watching. Mine was leaking. Make sure you don’t have a collapsed line. Hope you can get it fixed ok.

Glad the video was helpful for you. I’m sorry I can’t remember for sure I don’t think he did. But I remember shipping was pretty fast. Hope you get it fixed up and back on the track.

@@dschloe Update for anyone who may need this part; after 3 weeks of no communication or part from Perfect Fairings, I found a local machinist to make the part for me. 2 weeks after that, I did a chargeback after getting the part from the local machinist. Cost was still well under what a new fuel pump would have cost.

My suggestion would be to loosen the boots and try and remove it with it still attached to the air box for support so you don’t break the fuel tubes.

@@dschloe old carburetor boots can be almost like hard plastic. Sometimes you need to heat them with a heat gun to soften them up. Sometimes you need to soak them in a penetrant overnight. I remove them by doing one of those two things if needed and I use a pry bar to pop them out of their boots

@@django1thanks for the info. I have used the heating them up trick before and that works very well.

Thank you very much for watching. You should do it. There’s a lot of great bikes out there.

Yes they are a great bikes. They are really easy to work on and a great beginner bike in my opinion. Very easy bike to ride.

@@dschloe quick question, is it normal for my bike to not want to shift when the gearbox is still cold?

@@claytonhurst1329 have you put JASO MA2 rated Oil in your bike?
