    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Idle mixture screws should be at 2.5 turns or so. That could be the cause of the hanging idle, but more likely there is an air leak somewhere. Did you replace the intake pipe boot O-rings? Is the airbox sealed properly and a fresh air filter installed?

It felt awesome. There is no better confidence booster than to know you made it work. As for the airbus, I had it out and inspected and cleaned it. All seams appeared good and the filter is clean but a little dry. The intake boot o-rings were replaces also. A leak inspection with a can of wd40 would locate the leaks right?

Oh and ofcourse , thank you to everyone here for all their help and patience with me.
 
The air filter should be washed in simple green (or similar), rinsed, and dried. After it dries it should be oiled with motor oil. Squeeze out the excessive oil before reinstalling. You want a very thin but even coat of oil. Some people use paper towel to blot out any excessive oil.


Good luck. Getting close...
