    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.

thank-you! I had carefully rebuilt carbs, set valves, only to have bike start and die, start and die. Based on your advice , I had another look at the float bowls. The rebuilt tutorial I had didn't even mention these ports. Neither did the Haynes manual, that I saw. Even though I soaked the carbs and used ultrasonic cleaner, two of the four passages were clogged. Had to use a tiny drill bit and compressed air to clean out. Put the bowls back on-it started immediately, and...kept running. Damn good advice, I was ready to give up for the year.
 
Awesome, glad it worked out.I have mine running better but I will still check the valves and having my tank refurbished(rust inside). I hooked up an aux tank and here is a video of the result.

Sometimes it's the little things that can really mess you up. Glad you got it going.
