    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.

Thanks guys,

To answer your questions...yes I primed the bowls. I also checked that the bowls were getting fuel, which they were. I also removed the inline filter, i figured it was restricting flow. I believe I have my plug wires are correct. I wasn't sure so I looked at a parts fiche and hooked the wires to the corresponding sides. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the problem though. It's easy to figure out which plugs are the inner and outer ones, but each has one that is labelled 1-3, and 2-4. Currently theres a 1-3 and a 2-4 on each side.

Other than that I may just take everything a part and put it back together, maybe (hopefully) I'll find something that's wrong while taking it apart. But for the most part you guys don't think the shims have anything to do with it? I know if they are too tight they cause starting problems.

thanks

As you sit on the bike, #1 is on left side then 2-3-and 4 is on the right side. The left coil fires #1&4 while the right coil fires #2&3. Hope this helps you.
