SOURCE: I have a 1985 Yamaha Virago and the front cylinder

Yes, the problem is likely the "low/idle fuel circuit". There's choke, idle, and hi rpm fuel "circuits" (not as in electrical). The idle clogs first since its small, and the front cylindar seems to go first on this bike. rebuild w/gaskets. 3 hours shop labor = ~ $240. good luck.

Typical of xv,s itcould be a fuel blockage or damaged diaghram in carb! check all hoses!
