    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 Questions

Questions,

My carb kits came with a new valve needle and seat. Should I use those or the old ones?
 
Is it a K&L? From these kits I only use the idle mixture screw, float needle and valve (check your float heigth when done), pilot jet cap, and gaskets. Reuse your old jets but clean them up or dip them in Berrymans.

My kits are the excellent high quality "Tour Max" LOL. I have no idea, came from old bike barn. I have used them since my GT550. Only parts in the kit besides gasket and orings are the float needle and seat.
 
Does anyone know how to disassemble the slides? I may need to swap the slide guts from my original Slides/Diaphragms into a replacement set. Thanks!
 
I bought a cheap pair of long and skinny needle nose pliers ar Habor Freight. There is a circlip holding the jet needle in the slide. Compress the circlip with the pliers and pop it out and the rest will follow.
