    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.

So I have an 80 gs750L. It's only running on 3 cylinders. Sometime #2 will come back, but cuts out shortly after. I know I have spark. What would cause a no fuel condition in one cylinder? (Carbs where professionally cleaned and rebuilt 6 months ago)
 
Makes no sense to post your same problem in different sections- stick to one. Did you check your petcock? does #2 have a vac connection to this harley petcock? pull #2 spark plug and see what it looks like after some running.

The Harley Petcock is just and on/off style. No vacuum needed. Spark plug dry, so scent of fuel.
 
Hi,

The term "professionally cleaned" doesn't carry a lot of weight around here. ;)

Either do them yourself or hire one of the guys in this forum who've done hundreds, and done them right. See the "Services" section.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I just checked back in your stats because this all sounded to familiar to me, and have found you have started 3 threads for the same problem since May, and you have yet to except that the carbs are a miss, and your Sportster petcock does not work correctly.You need to go through the carbs again and make sure your floats are adjusted properly[ Man I feel like we are beating a dead horse here ] and if you are running a Sportster petcock and it is not vacuum operated have you plugged the Vacuum port on the #2 carburator?

Vacuum port is plugged. It doesn't make sene why it runs great when it wants too.
