    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.

Needle & seat o rings

Had to replace the needle & seats, while waiting till they came from japan I put in some nitrile o rings, after 3 months they degraded & the bike started to back fire, so now putting in the proper o rings & checking the float levels.
 
Nessism is the guy around here. just started selling complete "O" ring kits for our carbs. Look him up and send a private message.
 
Nitrile is the right material, but not all O-rings are created equal. Size is critical too; 1.6 x 7.1 works well.
 
After replacing the o rings the bike was still spluttering, it must be electrical I thought, so replaced the relay I had installed, info from here, fixed, yeah, ready for summer!
 
No. 3 float was a bit high, so after adjusting it the bike runs great, it was surging.
