    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

Anything is fine, it's not a high speed, high temp or high pressure application.
 
Someone is missing a market opportunity here to sell "carb shaft grease" in teensy .25 gram tubes for $12.99 each... :D

You'd think the mooks who sell the special expensive grease for computer CPUs would be all over this untapped market...




In situations like this, I just use whatever non-moly grease I have lying around, which is usually a red, blue, or green waterproof bearing grease.

Yup... Like Brian said, waterproof bearing grease will do the job just fine. And apply it sparingly. Honestly I'd only grease the insides of the guides the shaft goes through. Grease attracts grime and dirt, not something you want hanging all over your carbs simply because it makes them harder to work on when/ if you do have to...

One thing I've been looking around for are some smallish rubber stoppers to stick into the adjustment screw bores after you remove the factory caps. Just something to keep crap outa there, but easy to pull when you need to adjust things...(totally off topic, sorry)
