    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.

I have a very dumb question: will my bike run if i have the wires for
cyl# 1, and cyl#4 crossed and give me some possible light sputtering?? i think i might have done that, but not sure. i know which cylinder is 1, and 4 and that the coils feed opposite cylinders.
 
Should make no difference if you swap wires for #1 and #4 since they both operate off the same coil. Same for cylinders #2 and #3. You'd know in a big hurry if you got the wires wrong.
 
thanks man, just making sure. I just finished adjusting my valves, replaced all the boots in and out of my carbs, cleaned the carbs out, sealed the air box, and set all my air mixture screws to 1 1/2 turns out and i get a slight sputter.
 
With the bike warm adjust each mixture screw to give you the highest, smoothest idle you can get. Carbs need to be synched too.
 
i will do just that, but also my spark plugs are very clean slightly grey. all my jetting is stock except i have a #120 main. stock main is #115
 
Start with the screws and see what happens. You may need to fine tune the fuel level in the bowls later. That has alot to do with mixture in the midrange.
 
thanks. i have adjusted the air mixture, but i think when i had the carbs off i adjusted the float height the wrong way
