    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.

Rebuilding carbs, questions.

So I picked up the cycleorings.com o-ring kit, main jets since I'm sure the PO never jetted for the Kerker pipe (120's since they seem to work well on Chris' V&H piped stock 79S), aluminum cross tubes from Z-1 and other misc bits and pieces. I have everything torn down and soaking in the dip.

Some questions, I noticed my pilot fuel screws are slightly distorted at the tip, not excessively so but you can tell someone has cranked them down at some point. Should I just go ahead and source new ones or would these be ok as long as the tips aren't broken? Also all of the adjustment screws had been tinkered with. Nothing was at the factory settings and they were all turned out a good ways. The bike has been running rich even with the pipe, stock jets and stock motor so this makes I think. What should I be using as a benchmark for the screws on a stock bike + pipe?
 
Hi,

If the tips are distorted there's a chance they won't meter the idle mixture properly. It might not be critical but it never hurts to do it right.

Once the valves are adjusted, carbs back together, bench synced, then vacuum synched, you can adjust the idle mixture screws using the "highest idle method" described on my little website. You'll soon have a really nice running machine. :)


Thank you for your indulgence,
