New member just got a Valkyrie has questions
Sixgunluvr:
Hello everyone, new member here with many questions. I recently bought a 2003 Valkyrie and am having very minor gas leak from middle carb on right side…is this #3. Also have some hoses that are cut. I know very little about DIY bike repair and hope to start a dialogue here. Will post some pics as soon as I figure out how.

If you post where you live, maybe someone local can come take a look. BTW: you have a nice mechanic helper.

She’s more of an ornament than a helper. :D. Still working on pics. Here is one of the hose missing.
Are carbs numbered a certain way? It’s the middle carb on the right side of your sitting on the bike. It only seems to leak once per riding session in a very small amount of say a few drops and drips from what looks like the carb itself.
I also have some cruise pegs and fender trim for sale if anyone is interested. I don’t use cruise pegs and I bought the fender guard before I realized I would have to drill a hole in the fender to install it…won’t be doing that. It would look nice however.

Seems you have the numbering down right. Sitting on the bike, right front is 1, left front 2, right middle 3, left middle 4, right rear 5, left rear 6. Looks like the hose you're missing is the vacuum line....if you're trying to show the cap in the photo. Indicates your bike has been desmogged. Should only have a vacuum line on number 6, left rear carb. This will go to your petcock unless it's been changed to pingle or other non vacuum type petcock.
Interested in your items, send me a message. Thanks

BTW, do tell us where you are.
