    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.

fuel

fuel

i too am having fuel problems,pulled off the tank,70 here today in tn and i can;t ride ,the larger line will allow me to blow back through it but closes when i suck on it.the small line will not allow either on either setting.just a very small blip and then it closes.these petcocks are killing my desire to ride
 
Faulty gas cap vent, causing it to develop vacuum in tank?

Clogged fuel petcock filter shutting off flow?

Critters got in and clogged main fuel line while engine was out?

Here in the west stateside there's some kind of critter that makes a hard muddy nest with a larvae inside in any orifice, tube etc. that it can find. Could be why Levis were invented, don't know. A stout wire up the pipe/tube will check for obstruction, or if possible blow through it. Sounds like something pretty simple to me.
 
Martin,
always worth trying blowing down the fuel pipe to push a bit of petrol into the carb body. I take it you've got good compression?
