    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...

    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.

I got the orings in today from cycleorings, and took the carbs off just now. Noticed on the right carb it doesn't seems right. The carbs are the twins on my 85 EF..I had problems with fuel spilling out and I think I found out why. The vent tube from the right carb actually goes all the way thru.. Looks like its rusted out on the right side of the body of the carb, while the left one is not. should it be like that???

The vent is fine. It vents the float bowl.
You are leaking because the carbs need new o-rings, float heigth set and they need cleaned cleaned cleaned
Did I mention they needed cleaned?

got the left one apart and soaking, and it was spotless inside,, but has a 1/2" nylon washer floating around inside :confused:

the right carb float, jets and tubes were plugged full of greenie,, hopefully its running tomorrow :)
 
Carbs are cleaned and rebuilt, put together and on the bike. Idles like a DREAM. Fires first push of the button and idles and rev's up real quick. no to find a petcock for the tank then i can take it for a spin.Thanx a lot..
