    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.

Carb Boots

What is the correct direction of the boots when you put them on the motor? I know there is a topic about this but I can't find it. Thanks again:-D
 
Boots marked "L" go on the left.....just making sure you had that part right:-D . On my bike (not saying it is absolutely correct--PO could have screwed me again:shock: ) the vacuum ports go down and outward.
 
I know they are marked left and right but do the port holes also face left and right, or kinda down? Thx:)
 
First, the intake manifold and the carb manifold should have two different diameters, so check that out. Generally, the built in o-ring on the ID of the boot is larger in size on the head than the carbs. Then, make sure you have left and right set, then pop them on and twist until all the faces of the boots (facing the airbox) are in the same plane. The face should be parallel to the face of the airbox boots.

Just a note, I install the carbs to the airbox first, then install the two center boots while the carbs are installed. Then the outside two. I find it's easier than putting the boots on before the carbs.
