    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.

I removed my carbs today and what I found

I finally bit the bullet and removed the carbs

Undid all the clips and move the airbox back.
Tried to remove the carbs and nothing. Stuck solid.

I then removed the four bolts in the side of each carb pod (do I need to have removed those?) and had to really force the carbs off.

I have them off and could not believe how filthy they were. Check out the colour of the fuel that came out of them.

Why it won't fire up!

Why it won't fire up!

And some people wonder why they won't just fire up.

It doesn't take a lot to make them run.

Just spark, fuel and air in the right proportions and compression and off they go!
 
I might suggest to clean out your tank as well by the look of that fuel :)

I was amzed by the fuel colour.

When I emptied the fuel tank into a bucket and went to pour it into a fuel container the rust and junk that was left shocked me. It was pure garbage.

I am now looking at fuel tank cleaners on the forum.

Am thinking either POR15, rustbeet or rusteco. Any thoughts?

Just trying to find them in Sydney now from a seller on a Saturday.

It is no wonder that the bike would not idle or start properly.

Por15

Por15

I understand that there is a paint company on the Northern Beaches in Sydney that sells POR15.

Don't have the name unfortunately.
