    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.

Cleaned out the air filter today. It was trashed. Boots were loose and hanging so I cleaned and hooked back up tight. Boots are old and need to be replaced. Is there a sealer I can use until then, I plan on doing this winter. It runs fine if you don't mind the backfires down hill. I have changed all the fluids and am slowly crawling through this as I can afford. I will need fork seals, valve adj. and carb clean,sync and clearly boots. I fixed hole in muffler pipe but still backfire. I have a feeling when I recently dumped the bike I may have sucked somthing in my carbs. We'll see, I have tank soaking with vinager. The filter in the petcock was clean so I fear that trashed filter is the enemy.
 
Also what does this do. I noticed there is no support for the air filter. It's got two screw (threaded ) heads on it. End of green screwdriver!
 
if that hose connects to either brass nipple on carb 2 (on my vm carbs) or to a black plastic/nylon "T" then i believe it goes to the fuel petcock.

that part goes Inside the airbox , the outside has a C shaped bracket ( of Sorts ) that connects the airbox to the frame the piece you have is the internal support
 
still bogs down when given throttle, need choke on to run. Shoulda coulda woulda cleaned the air filter. Looks like the carbs and boots are coming before everything else!
