    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.

Was having a heck of a time dialing in my mixture. I was about to give up when I decided to see how much voltage was making it to the coils. AT best even after cleaning the contacts well I was only getting 9.5 volts. Did the relay mod and saw the voltage jump to 12.8 with engine off key on. Running down the road the diffrence was night and day. :D
 
wow, im really gonna have to look into this relay mod. i saw it on there but didnt really understand it, maybe i need to read it again.
 
I also did the coil relay mod and it worked well for me. I would add after doing it add a spare relay to your tool kit in case it should fail. I had a RR go on me and it started putting out 50 volts and blew my relay and a bunch of lights leaving me by the side of the road dead. If i had a spare I could have replaced it and just cut the red output wire from the RR and made it home on the battery. Food for thought, Good luck.
 
A valid point lucabond. The relays are cheap and relatively small, no reason not to carry a spare, just like carrying spare fuses.
