    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 wish I knew this a long time ago.

OK, maybe some of you know this but I didn't so I'm sharing it. I have seen carbs that have sat for many years ruined because screws would strip out rather than come out, especially airscrews. After I drilled out the plugs on a set of carbs for a 650 this weekend and before attempting to remove them I decided to try something a little differant. I took the heat gun and heated up the area areound the airscrews real well, hot to touch, then filled each hole with liquid wrench and let them soak for about an hour. The screws almost removed themselves, not really, but they came out just like they were just put in last week. I'm assuming heating the housing allowed the liquid wrench to run down the threads as it axpanded and allowed them to come out extremely easy. This is the only way I will ever remove them from now on. Try it you'll never do it another way.
 
wd-40 does the same thing I learned that while using a hole say kit.. got a slug stuck in a way tooo hot sleeeve and sprayed it w/ wd-40 dern thing about flew out.....works w/ bolts too
 
I believe the factory put thread lock on them. Heating the screws breaks the bond
