    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

I replaced the gaskets on the headers and checked the system for leaks and shes still backfiring.
Next step I guess would be to pull the carby manifolds off and check for cracks and replace the o rings.
Do I have to use original o rings or can I use cheaper ones fro the local bearing supplier. Is there a special Type of rubber they are made from>>

Have the carbs been accurately vacuum synched? If not that can do it.
 
get the ones from CYCLE ORINGS.. the regular neoprene hardware variety dont hold up to the heat so well. Robert Barr is a member here and youll get them in a day or two once he gets the payment.. well worth the wait and your moneys worth in my book anyways. He also has oring kits for your carbs jets and fuel tee and transfer tubes as well.

I picked up one of thoes see through spark plugs which show a blue flame when the burn is right.
I had trouble getting a blue flame inthe pot 2nd from the left and never got it as blue as the others. When looking into the plug the firing seemed to have an occasional miss in the spark. I thought that might be it sucking air.
Tere was a dramatic improvement in performance after adjustment but still backfiring.
