    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.

Anyone know the specs/size of the Breaker Cover Screws?

Thanks.
 
Haven't seen you on here in a while, snackie. Can you clarify what you mean by "breaker" cover, and which screws?

EDIT- Agemax seems to know what you are talking about (he's good like that)

Right side cover with the 3 screws, I think it's called the breaker cover.

I disappeared for 2 weeks and stopped bothering everyone, thought I might be getting on people's nerves but I'm back with a slew of questions for the wise ones.

The reason I'm asking this question is because one of those screws snapped on me. I tried everything from PB Blaster to a blow torch but couldn't get it out. At the same time, I had 2 valve cover bolts snapped off in the head and couldn't get those out. Finally, I pushed the bike down the street to a garage where it sat 2 weeks. They eventually got the valve cover bolts out, one they worked out and the other they welded a nut to.

The breaker cover bolt they had to drill out and he either retapped or put a heli in. He said I should be able to use the stock screw but mine is now too short. So, I need a longer screw.

That's the short story. Have a BIG carb question I'm about to post, if you have any insight, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

True enough...but when I read "breaker", my mind went to fuse box. Took me a second to switch back to motorcycle speak.
