As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    Stock ignition as it is has always been. Only thing I have ever done electrical to her is the standard new R/R,stator and coils.

    How does this plug look??

    No color range on the threads. Just the color on the tips. Top end is rebuilt with new rings,new valve seals and fresh gaskets. Haven't had it running too much since rebuild and just trying to button her up. I put new plugs in and will run her to see what they look like.

    How does this plug look??

    Pulled the plugs out of my '83 1100E and they all looked like this one Just a little black on the end but not wet or fuel smell. Am I correct in thinking it is running too rich?? If so, I may have to put the other jets,#105's, back in. Thanks as always.

    I had checked the valves and they were within spec. I'm going to pull the plugs and see how they look. I checked 4 exhaust pipes and they seem to be about the same temp so it seems to be firing on all four. I can rev it up and it doesn't miss or spit, just a little rough. Hopefully new plugs and...

    What the law in Ca. about having mercury introduced in the state. In Maine, you can't even get it shipped to you. If not, maybe a lab supply house in a nearby state:eek:;)

    carb sync tool

    I went with the Carbtune because you can't get Mercury in the state of Maine anymore and because of the higher quality. A great unit and well worth the price.

    I drilled small holes on the edge of the cover where the pegs used to be and used small ties to hold them onto the peg mounting holes. Works well and haven't lost one yet.:cool:
