    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.

Alright, that being the case...you have a problem with the petcock, the float needles, the floats, or ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Float adjustments can be a little tricky (not really but I'm being kind) and IF they are set wrong, can cause a rich OR lean condition while on the side stand. I NEVER leave a bike on the side stand. NEVER. Center stand the pigs, no matter what. Just the way I am. :cool:

IF adjustments have been made while on the side stand, YOU HAVE BEEN WASTING YOUR TIME.

Don't part the bike out, that STILL won't fix the problem...

guys i had a bike shop friend do the valves and the carbs completely taken apart i mean to the last screw!! my bike carbs still POPPING like a mother youknowwhat..... the bike is absolutely running like garbage and all of the settings are actually exactly how it was when it was running in top condition.... i thought it could be the weather etc... the bike absolutely lost everything it had going for it lol.... battery charged, plugs good, it just keeps popping and has no more power... could this be the points? thats my only thought left... i have a feeling im going to be parting this bike out soon without any hard feelings the way its been running!

edit: Could this be a time for new coils?? could that be whats making my carbs pop like crazy

To be honest gab. i dont trust bike shops much. I am working on a Venture right now that the owner payed a shop in Knoxville 600.00 to clean and sync the carbs. The carbs have never been tore down. Thats why I learned to do my own bike work then I KNOW its dead on and right. You may be chasing a problem they caused.
