    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.

Bench sync vm26 tip...

When bench syncing your carbs, make sure your idle screw is not backed out all the way, or for what ever reason removed...

Sorry, but your tip is incorrect. (Fully closed position, in preparation to manually adjust the throttle valves) Factory manual says to introduce a clearance between the throttle stop screw and the pulley. It's difficult enough to see any difference in slide height with the slides in their lowest position. Even harder with the slides raised some by turning up the throttle screw adjuster.
Back off the idle adjuster. Manually synch the slides as best you can. Then turn the adjuster enough so the bike will start. Set idle around 1,000 rpm's once the motor reaches full operating temp'. Synch with a vacuum tool.
 
Thank you. and yes, I agree... My issue was I had removed the stop screw all together.. The lowest slide bottoms out, then your just chasing that back and forth.. Give it a try, its fun.
