    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.

Greetings and Salutations!!

Hi Mr. bwarnock,

Here is your unofficial "mega-welcome". Please pay particular attention to the "Top 10 Common Issues", the Carb Rebuild Series, and the Stator Papers. As has been suggested, it's always a good idea to make sure all of the electrical connections and grounds on the entire bike (including fuse box and ignition switch) are clean and corrosion-free. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...

Please click here for your mega-welcome, chock full of tips, suggestions, links to vendors, and other information. Then feel free to visit my little BikeCliff website where I've been collecting the wisdom of this generous community. Don't forget, we like pictures! Not you, your bike! :D

Thanks for joining us. Keep us informed.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Old electrial connectors are way to commond on these old bikes. Check all connections for clean metal and tight fit. By tapping on it you may have caused the plug to make contact and then the contact was lost by ridding. Thats a good place to start good clean connectors, good luck.

Thankyou for your help.

I did separate wires leading to fuse box etc. and my cutting out problem is gone. Seems to be running just fine however when I did check my volts coming though to battery it showed around 12.4 when reving to 4000 rpm was around 12.8----at idle is around 12.0 ---other than that runs fine. Not sure if those numbers will sustain batter enough.

thx Bob
 
Hi Mr. bwarnock,

Those voltage numbers will probably not keep your battery charged. Go through the troubleshooting procedures in the Stator Papers to find out what is not working. Note that the Stator Papers specify starting with a known good battery when troubleshooting. You should be getting around 14.5v at the battery when revving around 4000-5000 rpm. Keep us informed.


Thank you for your indulgence,
