could be the stator (the alternator type device in the engine)

yes to remove the stator on the vulcan, the engine must be taken off the frame. BUT.... You can mod it so that you don't have to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcw-RP3Tr48&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJs9peopqZg

premium gas with some octane booster for a couple of tanks should do the trick because even though you cleaned the carbs there still is gunk and **** in the lines..i also suggest fogging the bike with seafoam good luck i hope this helps

Hmm. I had a similar issue with my bike years ago and it ended up being the coil.

Check the wire connections in the headlight bucket and under the seat where the turn signals plug into the harness.

Sounds like the side sstand switch is at fault. The bike thinks the side stand is down all the time.

Oil light came on bike cut off when I pulled in clutch I checked oil it was full started bike drove down road got were didn't want shift rite oil light still on start sqelling from bottom part of motor so when I pulled cluht in bike cut off

When you rebuilt your master cylinder did you look down the reservoir to the large brake fluid feeder hole? Right next to it is a tiny pin hole. That is the brake fluid return hole for the reservoir. It is probably plugged with rust or dirt. When it is plugged , you drive a short distance and the wheel locks up. Open the bleeder screw to release a squirt of fluid and you can drive back home before it locks up again. Clean out the hole with a single straight bristle from a wire brush and see if that fixes the problem.

Probably have to remove the seat ... find the battery under it ...

yes replace them both to much labor to take a chance i would take it to a shop lots of little pcs that can be lost

You will have to clean the carbs, it seems theres fuel (gas) starvation at those rpms., maybe the carb float chamber is low on gas,try to reset the float level, blow the main jets too.

Hi Todd: Sounds suspiciously like it would be brake fluid. Check to see if it is connected to the rear brake master cylinder. (that's the thing that has a shaft that is connected to the brake pedal) Motorcycles like Grade 4.

There's a black plastic knurled knob under the left side of the gas tank that adjusts idle speed.

fuel comes out of air filters????!! no, definitely wrong

Your clutch is either out of adjustment or it's fried.

CHECK WIRING CONNECTIONS ARE NOT LOOSE .

Hi.

I have just sent you a comment on a different thread. I see that you posted the same question on separate thread. I am also posting here as I do not know if you are following both thread. Better to keep the problem on a single thread. Below my previous comment:

Hi.

There is no "diagram" showing the whole routing of fuel lines in the bike. You need to use different diagrams in Fuel System section of the service manual. Fuel system section starts at page 15 in service manual, but what you really need starts at page 40. I have posted fuel service manual at the end of comment.

There is one forum where users discussed the routing. One user has colored the diagram from service manual to indicate lines routing. Here the diagram:



Here the forum, I quote:

"The red and yellow are the fuel lines that go to the petcock. The green one you left unmarked also goes to the petcock. The line with a question mark is a vacuum line that connects to a part in front of the battery along with the larger lines to the cylinders."

Here the service manual in PDF format.
