well after a day and a half going through a 96 v-4 trying to figure out why it ran rich ......with no power after going through clutches and completely ripping the carbs down (it needed it) and thoroughly cleaning them and finding 3of the 4 seat orings rock hard and most likely leaking go ti all back together sounded great on the stand right rpms .......... closed the hood and took it out for a blast in the front yard nothing no power after engagement .............side note it was brought to me last year after a supossed master vmax 4 racer could not figure it out i took it for a ride and said it was rich .............shop was already closed for the night and i was headed out riding .........just kept on being told it had to be crank seals ..........yada yada yada .............well after some good detailed help from OPSLED thought i had it licked ..............nope come back into the shop raise the hood put it up on the stand and double check everything .............still thinking to myself ...........what the hell it revs and wants to jump off the ground with the hood up ......shut the hood to check the r's and like it is starving for air or rich ...........i know i checked the air boxes then i raise the hood and happen to look at the intake under the hood ...................................................man am i a idiot ............well not me but someone else .......................original intake foam was gone from under the hood and someone replaced it with a very dense piece of foam ...................pulled it out and hold on the machine is alive .................so when he comes to get it there will be some ?????????????????'s on who did this ...............it now has a stock pre filter in it
