    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.

Quick question about gaskets! I have new gaskets for my carbs, cylinder head cover, breather cover, contact cover? (section i spin while checking valve clearance), and lastly not a gasket but the cylinder head plugs.. the PO seemed to have glued a few of these items in (i had to pull some chunks of stuck glue out of the inside of the cylinder head cover). my question is: what is the best way to install gaskets? is there a product to make it easier in the future to not destroy the gaskets every time? i don't think i salvaged a single gasket on this thing so far.
 
Spray can of white lithium grease is easy to use, some use WD-40, anything really. I tried Anti-Sieze on a few, it didn't work so well.
 
Thanks! I'll try the spray can of lithium. At least if the do stick in the future gaskets are one of the cheaper parts hahaha.

So i went to a local store and picked up some Multi-purpose grease. it says #2 grade lithium complex grease on the back. will that be sufficient?
