    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.

Fresh rejet, won't start.

Isn't that one of the things I paid the guy in Oregon to do? I mean, if I were charging somebody $250 for a rebuild, I'd probably punctuate the job by finishing it.

I can't say what he did, didn't do or possibly did incorrectly.
I do know he wasn't correct in determining which main jet to use for the pod use. And I'm doubting he touched the jet needle e-clips from what I've read. Actually, the jet needles are more important because you typically spend the most time operating on them. So it sounds like he doesn't have much experience jetting for your situation. That's not saying anything bad about his work or an insult, just that he hasn't jetted them even close.
As for a bench synch being done, I don't know either. All I do know is going way back in my younger days, we started many a bike after a carb rebuild/cleaning and quickly learned we needed to bench synch decently or the bike will just crank and sputter 'til the battery dies. We then learned how important and how much better a bike ran once we learned how to synch with a vacuum tool. And of course, even if he did a bench synch, it may not be done well. If he did it well, then there's some other reason the bike won't start. Regardless, it still needs to be vacuum tool synched because the carbs have to be on the bike to do that.
Without being there to see the bike, there could be lots of reasons the bike won't run. A poor synch is one of them. Incorrect float levels is another (they should be right in the middle of the factory range which is .94/95"). Intake leaks will cause this too. It's best to replace the manifold o-rings when removing the carbs if they've been in service a number of years. The manifolds too, must be checked for good condition.
 
Yes! Yes!!! Yyessssss!!!

Yes! Yes!!! Yyessssss!!!

...Install the new O rings (if not previously done) , set the needles and bench sync.

It should fire right up.

Just tried some new plugs, and KER-BOOOM! Instant success! Thanks for the links, Big T, thanks for all of the tutorials, Keith and everybody, I would have lost motivation long before I did if it weren't for all the harassment. The bench sync is spot on, and if anybody knows where to get a vacuum sync tool, I'd appreciate a lead on that. The 100 jets are running great with the stock setup, so I'm going to leave them in and see if my fuel economy goes up or down. Thanks again, everyone, this thread is resolved.

:cry:Suddenly I feel like something's missing...

***UPDATE***

Just took it across town to deliver some coffee (I microroast if anybody wants to find out what the best coffee in the world tastes like) and the thing wants to rip the bars out of my hands. It won't quite do this, but it's got bawls considering the altitude.

This is why I said not to start out modding the motor. Get your tires, suspension and riding upgraded first. The 1000 is a torque monster and in everyday riding has more than enough oomph to outrun most of the vehicles on the road. I regularly ride mine up to 4,000' with no discernable loss of power.

See, BR, you did it just in time to make my week end.

As far as carb sync tools go, there's a few threads on that , so use Search. The Morgan Carbtune gets good reviews from everyone, me included. I've had mercury sticks in the past and would never go back to them.
