    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.

Get out your paper and pencil. Turn each of the screws in until lightly seated, counting the turns as you do this. Record that number. Now turn each of them back out 2 turns as your starting point. Warm up the bike to operating temp, set the idle to about 1100 rpm. Turn the mixture screw on carb #1 slowly (both directions), listening for a change in engine speed. Adjust for the highest speed. Re-adjust idle to 1100 if necessary. Repeat with the other three cylinders. Now go back and turn each of them in again, counting the turns and record that number, too. Put that paper somewhere where you are not going to lose it. Turn each of the screws back where it ran the best and enjoy riding.
