    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.

Hey guys, I'm sure most of you saw that I acquired a tool to measure my actual fuel level. I have a pretty simple question.

When I connect my tool to the drain hole where should I hold the clear tube to measure? My carbs are not level on either of my bikes. So if I hold the clear tube to the rear of the bike the fuel level looks lower from the bowl gasket and if I hold to the front of the bike it looks higher to the gasket. My manual says 5mm from the gasket +/- .5, well depending on where I hold the clear tube for measuring I could easily be outside of that .5.

Catch my drift? Kinda hard to explain in text. I can post pics if no one understands what I mean.

I've measured the 1 and 4 carbs so far and they look dead nuts, I just want to be sure.

Nevermind, dumb question! The service manual shows dead in the middle. This made logical sense to me before asking.
