Nothing on a motorcycle is cheap  :lol:.. But you can get used factory Yamaha manuals for 15-25.00 dollars. They show up on e bay all the time. There are DVD versions  for less than 15.00.  You don't need a shiny collectors copy, coffee stains on the cover is preferred....

I think it is still there,  you can got to rapidshare.  Log in: movenon

And copy a service factory service manual, I think there is a copy of the Clymers also in there.  Quality isn't good but it's about as cheap as I can make it... :).

The only "nipple" I see in your picture looks like the carb float bowl drain.  Am I not seeing something? 

Also, I do see that one of your breather hoses is kinked.  That is bad!  If the breather is kinked, fuel will squirt out of everywhere as the fuel pump builds unvented pressure in the float bowls.

The nipple isn't displayed in the picture, is simply for locational-reference.
Here's a basic design:


Oh, and that kink is in one of the overflow hoses which aren't positioned properly (nor leaking) atm.
Probably just going to push them back towards the rear fender like they were before we tore into the thing.

Eh, we bought a Clymers for like $35 but it isn't useful. Probably just going to spend the bill and get a certified copy from Yamaha.

yeah I forgot today was the 9th and they turned it off this morning.
the manual should show up Monday or Tuesday so if you don't hear from me sooner you will then. $100 in cab fare last week  :drinks: it's time

On the manual, I have both. There are a few errors in the Clymer but it still is handy.  I just finished installing some of Randy's valve stem seals (http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Head%3AVSS) and re-timing the cams etc., I refereed to both of the manuals. The procedure is the same, they are just written differently.  Sometimes that helps in the understanding of what you are doing.  Also don't overlook the search function, lots of information buried in the forum.

k new problem.

got the bike back last night, seemed to be running well enough to commute.
idled 200rpm low, sounded a bit throaty, but it was tac'ing 6000 no problem, filled up the tank with 91 Mobil and called it a night.
started it up this morning, pulled the choke.

idled ~2500 (standard) for a few minutes then dropped down to 1000.
did that for a couple minutes, gave it some gas, hit 2500 again, pushed the choke, was ~500rpm. gave it a bit of gas, pulled the choke again, let it warm up a few more minutes.
pushed in the choke, steady idle @800rpm, ok same as last night lets go.

get to the first stoplight, engine dies.
try to start it, choke in, turns over a few times idles low; hit the throttle, bike dies.
pull the choke, tac'ing anywhere from 1000-2500rpm. (tried this a few times)
as soon as I hit the gas bike dies.

bad fuel pump, dirty gas lines, or what?
I just serviced the carb.
