    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.

Accidental valve cleaning?

Hey all, this Saturday i tried using my diy manometer on my bench synced carbs. Now before you all start jumping at me with all the witty comments about diy carb sticks and other nonsense i already bought a proper tool from ebay so next weekend i'll do it right. well as i plugged everything in and started the bike i didnt notice how #1 cyl was pulling way more than the rest and it sucked a bit of atf. i dont think its such a big deal as it just got burned up but i noticed a higher pitched ringing sound coming from that cylinder. it sounds like a valves and i will check them before restarting the bike. Could it be anything else though or should i be worried. it sucked maybe a 30ml at most which turned to pretty white cloud really fast. another question that comes to mind should i run some seafoam thru other cylinders to get them a little cleaner as well?
 
thanks guys it didnt die actually ran a little better but the noise from valves i assume was worrying me.
 
When I worked a service station as a teenager in the '70s, we used to pour a little ATF into customers' (car) carbs to "clean out carbon deposits." Don't know if it worked, but it was impressive to see all that smoke from just a few drops.
