    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.

Not sure if this is why my bike runs like crap or not but maybe someone else knows

they dry rot inside them and leak fuel through the vacumm line.. when I found my girl, she had about 3 gallons of fuel and oil inside her... if you do a search for petcocks on here, you will see sooooooooo many posts on it.. just something to be mindfull of..
 
You don't "HAVE" to have a breather filter attached to the vent hose. The filter should already be in the valve cover, under the breather cap. Many, just run the hose up and over the top of the swing arm pivot and or over the rear fender. If the engine is loose and worn, you may have a drip or ten, to deal with. :o

Ok guys sorry it has been awhile but I finally got my carbs done right and a new petcock.i got them rejetted with some 117 jets and this thing is still falling on it's face in the middle rpm range, it is good when you first get on it then, it falls on its face then, in high rpm range it rips any thoughts? I am running cheapo filters with the stock velocity stacks modified to fit in them. I have found the carbs do not work at all with out the velocitystacks/intake boots to airbox !
 
It sounds to me like you need to shim the needles up some, or lower the clip position if you have clip type needles.
 
First upgrade from those emgo pods to ones from K&N or APE, then see how it runs.
I don't use emgo parts but I have read many posts about many headaches trying to tune cards with those attached.
