    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Yes too much fuel will definitely do that!

Sounds like you're on the right track now...

Edit: Forgot to say double check your oil doesn't have any fuel in it too.

I have oil and filter for an oil change. I couldn't smell any gas when I pulled the dipstick but you never know.
 
As long as it's not coming in via the vacuum hose it's probably ok, but best to be safe is all I'm thinking.
 
Sounds like I have a weekend project lined up for when my more mechanically inclined friend comes over to help me.

Just like the postcard says:

wish you were here..

I wish I was THERE LOL..
 
well shucks!! but maybe another member here in FL can assist you if needed?

It's always something simple, these bike's problems.. just how to find it takes patience, experience, tools and logic!!
 
I've done a lot of carbs, and every so often, one just doesn't work.

After taking it back out and looking/dipping/cleaning and playin around with the float pin etc.. then it works.
I hope you are good to go fo rat LEAST another 30 yeers!!!! Have fun!!
 
Woohoo! Glad to see you got it running and got out for a ride :D

I feel weird replying in the ladies forum so I replied here ;)

It still needs some mechanical work but getting it running was a pretty big step and makes it easier to determine what else needs tuning and tweaking.
