    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.

First ride of the season...

Sorry for the long delay, things have been crazy at school. Just started to take things apart. Turns out the petcock is shot. I took off the carbs today and gas flowed out like crazy. Had the tank sitting on a bench overnight, came into the shop this morning and a LARGE puddle of fuel had formed on the bench (Doh!). I also noticed that carb #1 was missing the pilot air jet. Just ordered a new air jet, petcock, and air filter from BikeBandit.com so we will see how the rest of this goes.
 
Hi again guys. News is bad. Bike runs the same as before. Starts right up on the first push (thankfully) and needs no choke. In fact, the choke seems to make no difference on startup. I took it for a ride again today (after cleaning the carbs yet again) and it would still stall on slight hills and would top out at 25 mph. I can't rev the thing over 4,000 either riding or in neutral. I'm on my last straw with this bike. Any suggestions?
 
Mr. Toga, is the choke cable still attached to the carb rail? Mine has come out of the slot a couple of times. That may explain why choking it makes no difference.
 
it simply sounds like your not getting enough fuel. Check and make sure none of your lines are kinked..

Does it bog at full throttle?

What does it do when it reaches 4000 rpms? Runs smoothly? Or bogs and pops and backfires?

It just sits there in a smooth manner
 
Check your throttle cable. Or try and see if you can manually move your throttle body using your fingers / a tool of some sort. Make sure your cable is working correctly. Sometimes they can be out of adjustment. I have had this happen before and i've also had them stick or break off on the handle bar side and wedge themselves so they appear to be connected but are really 1/2 inch shorter.
