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.

carb vent tubes

Hi,

I am doing my carbs, and am wondering what and where to put my two carb vent tubes tees that will be open after the pods are installed. I imagine that they went to the air box before, what do youz all do with them if you have the pods.

I imagine that the air connection must somehow be filtered, do they need to be connected to vacuum somehow, and if so, where . If connected to vacuum, I assume that it must be upstream from the carb, or perhaps it can be combined with the vacuum line to the tank petcock. Let me know please.

Regarding the exit of gases from the crankcase, I assume the best way is to run thru a filter out thru a line near the inner fender? Would appreciate some input , part numbers of your favorite setup would be great if you have them.
 
If running pods, remove the vent lines altogether. Keep the "T" obviously, but the lines, in my experience, will make it run worse than without. Something about still air or some such air pressure truck that im not qualified to talk about.. heh. But, with a DJ kit they tell you to remove them if running pod filters.
 
The vent tubes are routed up and over the air box and are open to the air. NO filter on them.

Since you are going to pods, you can remove the lines from the T's and rotate the T's down and toward the back of the bike.
 
Currently running pods without tubes, runs great no issues so far.
 
thanks guys

thanks guys

I guess that answers that, very simple, will do this and hopefully ride like that.

I ordered my carb kits from georgefix [HardParts} last Friday at 440p, they were waiting in my mail box this am, thirteen hundred miles they went over the weekend, wow, thats service. Also, the o ring guy, same thing, they were also here today already, ordered friday pm. Now thats a hustling post office too.
