No, the intakes are what gives fuel to the engine. They are between the
carburetors and the heads. Look for discoloration around the bottom of them
on the head. It will look like dried gasoline. Kinda.

I've got a lot of exhaust popping(mini-backfire?).
It occurs at low speeds just about anywhere north
of 1.8K rpm. In fact, I can just hold the stationary
bike at 2.0K rpm, and I get the popping.
It doesn't seem to occur on the street where I am
operating in top gear. The rpm's might be the same,
but I don't sense the popping. Maybe, I just can't
hear it because of helmet restriction(s).
Another clue: returning to the stationary bike des-
cription at 2.0K rpm. I can pull on some choke
and the popping will stop. Maybe Honda just
jetted the thing too lean?
I do also have the varnish(aka dried gasoline)
deposits at the base of some manifolds.
I figured this was probably due to a deterioration
of whatever sealant is used between the head and
manifold, probably a recessed o-ring. Like a lot of
other rubber-type parts, I also suspect this could be
directly related to the constant supply of E10.

The popping is because you are running too lean.
Because you choke it, you are riching it up which is a clue you are running
too lean.
If you still have the stock exhaust, it is most likely that the orings at
the base of the intakes are the only problem.
If it has not always popped, chances are that the pilot jets are ok and
don't need adjusting.
That dried gasoline means the orings have failed and need replaced, which
can make it run lean.
Go to a hydraulic parts house and ask for viton orings size 123. You need 6
and they are about .50 each.
After you replace all of them and not just one or 2, make sure you tighten
the clamps on the carburetors and top of the intake runners. They get loose
and leak air.
After you replace the orings and tighten all the clamps, if the popping
still happens, you most likely have a cracked vacuum hose as well that you
need to fix. If it is still going on after you change the vacuum hoses, you
need to sync and adjust your carburetors.
Having said all of that, it is an air leak that is causing the lean running
and popping unless of course you have the non stock exhaust. They will make
your bike run lean and lose about 6 horsepower to boot if it was not jetted
properly.
Hope this helps.

Mine does some, but not nearly like the Honda VTwins, with after Market

Talking about choking, I bet I havent choked mine, maybe 'twice during

Stock exhaust, 51.3(in my zipcode) miles.
Sounds easier to just ride it with the choke

Thanks for the comment(s). My money is on
the manifold o-rings. The bike was tuned at
~47K, and I seem to recall mention of a
split hose. But, it was popping then, and
should have been corrected at that service.
I don't think there's any hose leaks, or maybe
I just am in denial because of the PITA quotient
involved. But, I had hose leakage before, and
I can usually detect that(audibly).
Thanks again.

I've not yet found a hydraulic parts retailer, that
features the Viton product(s).
However, I was wondering, does your notation
of o-ring #123 correspond to this chart @ #123?
http://www.allorings.com/size_cross_reference_framed.htm
or...
http://www.marcorubber.com/sizingchart.htm
I never really knew o-rings could be so complicated.
I'll prefer to find a retailer locally. Where I can make
a comparison between old and new. But, I could
order online if necessary, and I have the specific
size details.
Jerry
don't know about your chart, but put this in Google (hydraulic supplies
Dallas) and start calling. ask for viton 123 size oring. they will know what
you are talking about. Took me 2 calls to find them in Houston. First call
was to a supply house where they referred me to another that carried viton
products. I am not sure, but I think this is where I thing I got them.

Speaking of which, Honda ordered the wrong fuel line and now it will be next
week before I can begin to put it together since I can't put the air box or
gas tank and adjust the carburetors before I put the fuel lines on. Also
when I took the timing plate off, the clocking pin in it disintegrated and
had to order another one of those, so the timing belts are not done either.
It is age that is getting the parts, not necessarily miles. I wish I had
some friends.

I have found the specific rings at :
http://www.hddistributors.com/
It's only about ~10 miles from me, and the rings
are ~$.56 each. I have to juice the order require-
ment to satisfy their $10 minimum.
If any of the few Valk owners here send me a
SASE, I'll return 6 rings for your bike. Until I
exhaust my inventory.
I'll be getting the rings early next week, after I've
removed a manifold to insure the fit.

Mine began showing seepage on selected manifold(s), probably
around 45K. But, I would suspect it advances/declines based on
ones riding habits, where the rings could deteriorate faster.
(high engine heat, corrosive fuel.
I recall a guy up at Keller's, starting up a Valk conversation with
me about a year ago. He was talking about these rings, and had
offered to send some my way. I wasn't having any problems at
that time, and simply passed.

I did the camping deal on the way up and back but stayed with relatives once
I got there. One overnight stop was on a major tollroad rest stop (in Penn
I
think). The ground was a little wet and I didn't want to try and set up my
tent
in the dark so I threw my sleeping bag on a picnic table. In the morning I
was
awoken by the buzz of a gazillion yellow jackets. There was a trash barrel
real
close to the table and the bees were having a banquet. Scaredthe hell out of
me
but I never got stung.
