    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Early form of CV carbs used on MGs and other English cars, very hard to tune, as oil viscosity in an upper vacuum chamber controlled the slide lifting.

They look great on the bike, hope it runs well.

Those would be a set of SU carbs off of a 1962 Morris Minor. The car had something like 978cc engine. Most, if not all, european sports cars ran SU's back in the day, and I'm pretty sure Volvo even ran em.

I used to run SU's on all my MG's and Healeys. I can pretty much tune em by ear and feel, as I did that for years. (More than I care to talk about) Barometric pressure comes into play with the darn things so your allways tweaking them. On the other hand, thats half the fun!
 
Well Hoosier, If you look at the last post I did on this bike, it was mid November, 010. Unfortunately on November 28th, 010, My wife passed away from cancer rather unexpectedly. As of today, all my bikes have been in limbo and I havent so much as looked at them much less lift a wrench.

Im not looking for a pity party by a long shot as Ive pretty well adjusted to being single after 34 years of being married. (no easy task however)

I figure maybe this spring I'll get back into 'em. I did buy a Vette though and am doing my best to run the wheels off of it....

You have any questions on your or my build, drop me a PM. I lurk around here a couple times a week and get emails when someone posts. Have fun with your scoot!
 
Sorry to hear of the loss of your wife Henry. Good to see you posting.
 
Yes, same here. I assumed after the long hiatis there was an issue of somekind, but had no idea it was that tradgic. So sorry.... Everyone handles a loss like that differently, but working on a bike can be verrrry theroputic. Glad to see you back.
 
Thanks guys, for the comments, as it is appreciated! Attached a pic of the new toy..
