    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Today i recently got a deal on a 1983 gs300l has a rebuilt top end "SUPPOSEDLY" you know how that goes checked compresion ratio got 155 in each cylinder in neutral i can give it gas and it will accelerate like any other bike don't notice anything wrong go to take off and it had no power litterally was hard to go thirty five kinda seemed like it was running on one cylinder but it isn't gots spark and all it came without mufflers on it does the back pressure effect it that much??? Also thought maybe vacuum leaks or maybe a air leak somewhere but everything is tight any ideas???
 
Ahh well i got some old Harley sportster mufflers im going to throw on there tomorrow and see if that makes any difference i can only hope
