I'm rebuilding a 1986 VF500F, the tank is rusted out and I have a line on a brand new 1984 VF500F tank. Does anyone know if it will fit?? (needs to be shipped...
Is there anything you have to change on the 84 carb to make it gravity fed? I'm putting it on my 86 and I'm not sure where to hook ip the fuel line. Right now...
The VF500 tanks are all the same size. The 86 has a gravity feed system instead of a fuel pump so the diameter of fuel feed tube and petcock are different....
First : finding a VF500F brand new fuel tank is quite a performance. Congratulations ! Second : you could have a fuel feed problem since the '84 models had a...
All, my sons swapped a tank over from an 86, and had no trouble they mentioned. I did not have a direct hand in it though. I will ask them. I'll try to get...
Noel, you are the man! I have looked at both tanks and the 86 has a much larger tank orifice and the petcock bolt holes are oriented differently. My sons...
Chris, That should work just fine. My bikes run perfect with gravity feed, whatever you do to hook up the fuel like should be a-ok. Jamie Daugherty ...
Thanks. I hooked it up yesterday but couldn't get it to fire at all. Today I found that I have no spark whatsoever. Would that be the coils? Will the 84 coils...
Does anyone have a petcock for an 86 they're willing to sell? I have alot of spare parts. Maybe we could trade. Mine seems to be shot. It doesn't flow fuel at...
... shot. ... life of me ... I do have one sitting in my tank that could go to a good home, should the whole tank assy. not go first - let's talk in a few...
So the vacuum has to be hooked up for gas to flow through it? Either way I'm interested in yours if you decide to sell it. The inside of mine looks bad and the...
I'm looking for a tank if it's in good shape. Don't care about paint, just rust. In VF500F@yahoogroups.com, "jonnyrocket00" ... miles ... in ... some ... ...
I have a tank or two for the 1984 model. One is smacked on top pretty good and the other is faded and will need paint. One is the blue over white, the other...
I'm kind of baffled here. So far I've tested the pulse coil and it's good according to the clymer manual. I've tried 2 sets of coils, and 2 sets of ignition...
I think I figured out how to test the coils. I measured between the two tabs that the small wires hook two and got about 1/5th of an ohm. I checked two coild...
It could be something simple like a bad contact, so take off the coils sand the mount or scotch brite them so there is bare metal clean all the connectors for...
Check the handlebar RUN/STOP switch and it's circuit. Don't ask how I know.... Pat ... From: cromanyak2 <cromanyak2@...> To: VF500F@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
good morning, vfr's i had a bit of an episode over the weekend. my front brakes locked up. luckily i was only going about 25 up the road. unluckily, i had to ...
... Sure - let's consider it yours, once I've had a chance to drain the tank/test the petcock, and pull it apart to double check the integrity of the...
Cool. Just let me know how much. Do you take paypal? I may try Jamie's mod in the meantime, but I still defintely want yours. Does it have a filter on it? Mine...
OK, well I'm an idiot. I took your advice and I realized that I had the switch flipped the wrong way. I just assumed that up was on. Also I didn't think it...
That's not a bad deal considering that you are getting a good DID o- ring chain. You can piece together a set cheaper (maybe) but that would be a lot more...
Wanted: Fuel tank 1986 VF500F. Cosmetics not important, it will be sanded and painted to original colours, and the inside coated with epoxy. Some pinholes are...
