    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.

any help/advice on any of these probs would be grate!!!

Gremlin, there is a drive problem. Pull the clutch cover and see if all the plates are in place. When the crank turns the gear between cyls 3 & 4 turns the large clutch gear which turns the other gears on it's shaft which engages with and turns the output shaft on which the output sprocket is situated. This sprocket is then attached to the rear wheel sprocket by the rear chain.

Pull the clutch cover as I said and rotate the engine with the large 19mm nut on the ign end of the crankshaft and see what is moving and what is not and you will work it out.

Good luck.
