    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.

it's been sitting awhile it. Thinking carbs need to be cleaned not sure. Bad Gas? It wants to start and has started for a minute but very rough and with the choke all the way on. Just trying to get some suggestions new to wrenching on these. I'm thinking replace spark plugs and empty out old gas or clean carbs? Help needed.
 
Low voltage to the coils can really make an 1100+ hard to start.

Check the voltage to the coils. If it is dropping more than 1 volt from battery voltage (to coils) start cleaning connections or ignition relay mod.
 
If it has been sitting awhile & won't run without the choke, the pilot jets are plugged & need cleaned out.
