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...

    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 have a chance to get some carbs off ebay and they have the caps on the screws still, how much of a pita will it be to remove the screws? Will there be a bad buildup of stuff to fight?
 
Actually with the caps still on the idle mixture screws will be shiny and like new.

Drill a hole in the cap and pull it out with a screw. Back the drill out as soon as you penetrate to not damage the screw head.
 
also i am going to bid on a set that has a dynojet kit on it, i am stock will i want to revert this? i have new mains should i keep the pointy adjustable needles?

also what about the brass air corrector thing in the mouth of the carb?
 
it doesnt come with other jets. so i should probably use my mains and also does the dynojet replace the pilot jets? and should i remove that brass piece pushed in the air jet or no
 
It does not include a new pilot jet.
The brass insert effects the main jet and not the pilot jet. You are thinking of the pilot air jet which is replaceable.
 
correct but i dont know much about jetting changes and was wondering if i should remove it, is it because of the taper of the needle or something?
 
I've had little luck in getting them out. I actually broke a carb body trying to put a screw in it to yank it out.
As I said you will be able to jet with the Dynojet kit.
What is wrong with your stock carbs?
 
Did you check compression and make sure you have good contact with the spark plug caps. They twist out and you can cut the wire a tad and retap.
 
yes i have 145 across the board and new caps with wires cut back
