    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.

Reminder to check before you buy.

Last week my bike quit running on cylinders #2 & 3. I assumed the coil was broke. I limped home and parked the bike. I didn't have time to check the bike and proceeded to bid on new - used coils on Ebay. I thought I should have them on hand for when I had time to do the repair. Well, today I fixed the ignition coil on my motorcycle. It's been parked for a week and I finally got a chance to take a look at it. I found that it wasn't the coil itself that was bad. It was a wire leading into the coil that had corroded and broke off, right at the entry point to the coil. I removed the coil, trimmed the wire and resoldered the connection. Then I covered the contact with some epoxy and reinstalled the coil. It started up with a little prodding and then ran like a charm. I do have the high bid on a pair of coils on Ebay that I'm still winning. I'll found out tomorrow night if I'm the proud owner of a set of coils that I don't need yet.
If I do win I figure it will guarentee that my coils will last forever. ;)
 
I think I bid on those same coils.. lol:-D
That's a good point you made, though!! I didnt even think to check that. Thanks for the heads up!
 
Had that happen to me on my old Dodge, Had it towed home. Was cussing at myself when I found the problem
 
Well there were two bids on the coils. I was outbid at the last minute by $0.50. :)
 
I sell on Ebay and I wouldn't want to sell something someone didn't need. But half the time it's because people didn't read the auction description
