    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.

Clogged hole in Carb 3

Ok, this hole is clogged in carb #3.
077_Special%20tool%20clearing%20small%20passage%20in%20fuel%20bowl.jpg


I don't have the special tool (brass bristle in a matchstick) to clear it out tonight. What are the possible problems caused by this? Could this be causing the bike to run rich? Could it prevent me from starting (actually working on carb #4, stopping for a break)?

I will come back and poke at it when I get a bristle and a matchstick, but for now I'm just gonna finish up the rest of the work.
 
That wouldn't cause the bike to run rich. But it would, if clogged, make your #3 cylinder hard to start. The bike probably only started on 3 cylinders, and the 4th (your clogged #3) probably didn't kick in until the engine was warmed up.
 
That's the choke feed tube. That particular carb won't work right with the choke. This will make the bike hard to start and rough idle on choke. Once off choke it should work fine.
 
if it is clogged in the bowl, theres a good chance the ity bitty hole in the choke pick up tube (sticks down into that opening) is clogged as well.
