    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.

There is a vacuum line from the carb that needs to be blocked. Maybe that's what you're mechanic did. Just stuff a bolt or something in it.

Golf Tee if you have one around, less chance at deforming the hole, plus they're tapered for a sure fit.
 
you remove the tank. if you dont have a gravity bottle get a chunk of 1/4 inch gas line and a double end barbed deal from the auto parts store. set the tank up on the bench higher than the bike and measure how much youll need. ON the back of carb 2 where the petcock vacuum line goes put a small piece of vac line on that and plug with a bolt. Use barbed adapter to plug the gas line into the one on the carbs. Set petcock on the PRIme position so fuel will flow...sync carbs.
