    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.

OK so I've been building my bike for months now, figured out the ignition problems and now I'm with the carbs. I dipped and soaked for days, replaced all o rings etc... everything that the ppl on this website asked me to do. I put a stage 3 dynojet kit in it and gave custom 4 into 2 exhaust. Now my problem is that it'll only idle when I have the gas full throttle but will die other wise. Since I'm doing body work to the gas tank I havefunnes my gas supply and yes the vacuum frm the Carb is capped. Now here's the odd part, when it is about out of gas and none is spitting from the intake of the Carb it idles and runs perfect but when I fill it up it only idles with the gas full throttle. Also when the k&n pods on it it runs even worse. So this is what I'm thinking...its getting way to much gas. OK well the mains only kick in at 1/4 throttle right? So why is it sucking in so much gas?
 
Nothing happens when the idle screw and 2 times out. Is in lean out rich? Should i start at 1 1/2?
 
Yea, turning in leans the mixture but I'm surprised the idle screw isn't changing anything. Actually it sounds like it's too lean if it's dying without throttle. Set your screws to three full 360 degree turns from lightly seated and work from there.
