Below is a diagram. Turn the air screw inward until it lightly seats then open it up two turns. Set the idle speed with the throttle screw. The throttle screw pushes against a lever on the outside of the carb. From there, adjust the air screw for best idle speed. Do this for both carbs. Be sure the air cleaner is clean.

The motorbike start spluttering after +- 25 km of ongoing driving.
is your fuel cap vented if not will cause a vaccum in the tank which will restrict the amount of fuel to your carbs! and cause weird things to happen !

My 81 750 virago will not start but i can push start it but when i put in neutral it dies
i had a similar problem with a fzr400 and 650 katana shaft drive , it does appear to be a combination of immulsion tubes being in need of replacement aswell as carbs to be reset and syncroed, after i had that sorted my prolems were over.

I have a 1988 750 Virago I just rebuilt my carbs so I decided to change the oil also and I found that there was gas in the oil. What could cause this.
hiya

when you rebuilt the carbs did you adjust the floats or needles because it sounds like you are flooding and the gas is leaking out

hope this helps

I own a 1985 Yamaha VIRAGO 700. The only 85 700 your list has is a Maxim. Maxim's have straight 4's, Virago's are V-Twin. My bike IS a 1985 Yamaha Virago 700. The list NEEDS to be updated.
Don't know, but try looking for a 750. they were more common.

Changing carb jets
the main jets just unscrew out use a socket if you can but dont over tighten when refitting.undo the 4 screws holding the carb bowl on and the jets are straight in view.
