Thanks for the video! I have The same problem, and I know my regulator is faulty. I have focused on the carbs - did the regulator fix your problem with the speed?
No it idles and runs fine until under load. Goes great until around 45mph but when checking the battery whilst running the voltage seemed a bit low. I suspected the bike wasnt getting enough charge to maintain the spark. Will test ride tomorrow and do a follow up. Hoping all the work ive done has worked. Fingers crossed !
@@studiotwentyfive Have you done a compression check? If its been sitting for years the piston rings might not be sealing properly. Close to 14 volts is what the R/R should be putting to the battery with high revs. I would expect some stuttering if the R/R was not working right . Viragos have a great engine.
@@studiotwentyfive Living in America now. I have the rarer Virago XV1000. Great engine and sounds brilliant. I had to convert it to a single carb manifold because the original twin carb slides were beyond repair. Great bike but weighs a ton.
