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.

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.

hi all.i've made a post a month ago about my bike.my bike is so wierd some days it will be great never run bad.then sometimes out of no where it will act up bog and sputter.its 10:46pm now i got off work at 9pm and boy was it bad.it drove good about 15 miles and all of sudden i could feel it bog when i would give it full throttle in my mind i thought not good.drove a couple other miles and now i have it full throttle and its bogging bad barely pulling itself could feel it slow down even slower then it kills and i roll to a stop on the side of the road.also it was bogging matter how much gas i gave it.i start it back up only started with the choke.i get it going still was running bad but i was just trying to make it home.i actually make it too the straight road that goes to my parents house and i just go full throttle and it spitting and sputtering and clears out for a second and then bogs out again.it stalls and i let it roll to a stop.let it sit for a minute i start it i get going and just crack it down full throttle and doesnt bog at all the whole way to my parents? so it only killed on me twice on the road.but its getting annoying and wanna figure it out.

I had a VW Jetta like that, and it turned out to be corrosion in the electrics (especially the fuse box) causing totally unpredictable failures.
 
I see that youve rebuilt the carbs in your sig line there. KNowing this, I would also advice that you start going thru the electrical system, NAMELY, the charging and ignition contacts. Clean corrosion, check and replace bad connections, and grease with dielectric contact grease. Also, check your plug wires and caps. This SHOULD help eliminate some of the issues.
 
I would also take a look at your fuel petcock. Have you tried to run it on PRI ? Make sure you have good hoses for fuel supply and vacuum. If your vac hose is kinked or leaking you will fuel starve the carbs.

Where are you in MN ?
 
i will check what you guys said too do.its gotta be one of those things.i am in Le Sueur,Minnesota by the way bonanzadave.

i checked all the wires they look fine.all fuses were good.i emptied the gas tank to make sure that was clean.check the plugs they were black with tan on the tip.i drove it.it acted good for 5 miles and then it started to spitting and sputter and barely pull itself.it was sputtering it wanted to go fast cause it would kick in and out but wouldnt go any faster.my 2 ignition coil packs are white is that the factory coil pack color cause i am thinking i wanna get two new coils and spark plugs.
