    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.

I was cruisin the other day about 65 and then slowly my rpm's started to go down. I still had the throttle open, but she just kept decreasing until it finally just concked out on me. I rolled to a stop and started kicking the engine over (my electric start doesnt work ahhh) wouldn't start, until I choked it. Even then it was hard. Got her running, then did the same thing again. It was about to rain and my leg was about to fall off from kicking so much. I finally got her home, slighty perturbed. This came out of nowhere? I could first look at the petcock for starters, but what do you guys think?
...my right leg is sore today
 
Yeah, pull the fuel line from the petcock (in the PRI position) and see what happens.

Fuel or no fuel. If fuel, check the vent hole in the fuel cap. They have been known to plug. If NO fuel, could be the filter screen in the tank.

Next, pull the vacuum line from the #2 or #3 carb and with the petcock in the RUN position, suck on the vacuum line. Fuel or no fuel.

Get the idea?
