    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.

converting bike to run off vapors

found this video on youtube awhile back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuGWHfWqWtg

he runs an engine off nothing but gas fumes.
doing some cursory googling, it seems that all IC engine ran this way before the carb was invented.
furthermore, running an engine this way would practically eliminate the need for carbs at all.

anyone ever done something like this with their bike?
 
ICEs still run this way. Carbs are/were just an optimized version of this, and fuel injection is even more optimized. The basic principle stays the same: fuel and air is mixed and ignited at some point.

Trying this just to get rid of your carbs would be a mighty stupid thing to do, but it could be a funny thing to show off at a MC meet. But at your average meet, how many would even spot a missing carb?
 
Love that channel, he can torture the same lawn mower engine 100 different ways and they still keep running!

As to what I just saw, the idea is to create a vapor from a liquid, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
