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.
Stay tuned Pete, It's slow going but I'll keep this thread updated.

For the final pic, instead of measuring the tapered lip, go deeper with the caliper to the thickness of the sleeve at the bore.

1.77mm, I was more worried with that thin tapered area breaking off under heat and stress.

I got the rings gapped and noticed this upon inspection. Any chance this tick mark could cause significant damage

Coming Along, I ran into some carb issues. Apparently the previous owner swapped in the wrong float bowl.

So it's running, but needs minor sorting? Looks good!

Well I found a set of carbs for a decent price. Stripped them down today for some cleaning. After some swapping between the two sets and a slight gasket modification, I got her started. I had no time to tune and troubleshoot, but at least its running.
