    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 removal

  • Thread starter Thread starter abaton6
  • Start date Start date
You probably already know, but the only rebuild kit you need is a set of o-rings. A full set for the carbs, plus 4 for the manifolds. Do the drain plugs have o-rings?

You might get away with the gaskets - personally I would probably replace them. Your call on that one.

Now is a good time to replace the old corroded fasteners. Everything you need here: http://www.cycleorings.com/

Anyone know where to find these?

Gofastinnovations.com I believe is the website. Or at least, one website with them.
 
OK, replaced O rings, cleaned the carbs, put them back in, then found out I forgot to hook up the throttle cable. So, out they came again. Re-installed them, put the filter box back in, then the battery. Tomorrow, I install the tank, and hoses and give it a go. The only thing I could see wrong with the carbs is that the carb floats were way too low. About 1/4" each. They are now perfect.
 
Not filling the fuel filter, even on prime. It did "run" a bit on starting fluid. Won't stay running.
 
Yes, I will eliminate the filter. I pulled the tank off, and the petcock is dripping about 3 drips per second, while set at 12 o'clock. I had a hose on the vac line and when I put a slight vacuum on it, it flowed pretty good, but sometimes pretty slowly. If I set it to "prime", it flows bigtime. I pulled one of the float bowl plugs, and the bowl was full. Not sure what is going on here.
 
I followed the cleaning procedure on Bikeclffs to the letter. And the petcock is brand new. But I just discovered two of the spark plug wires were on the wrong plugs. I'll install a new fuel line tomorrow, and try it again.

Please clarify
With the petcock in ?PR? spot, fuel should flow nicely...in other positions, there should be no flow, unless you apply vacuum. No drips, no runs, etc.
