    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.

Hi,

Could there be air leaks in the intake system? Rubber contracts and gets hard as it dries out over the years. Have you replaced carb boots, airbox boots, intake O-rings, sealed the airbox, etc? Checked the throttle cable, throttle and choke linkages? Adjusted the main idle screw? When was the last time you vacuum synced the carbs?


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
so this is what its doing.. when i start it on full choke itll idle to about 4500 as i let the choke off itll go down. but if i let it fully off or twist the throttle it dies. i havent sinced it yet because i havent had it idling good. i am going and getting an adapter tomorrow so i can check the float level thru the bottom drain plug thinking that i set the levels wrong. any ideas? and also a question where should the idle screw be set to, somewhere in the manual it said all the way to the left but i didnt think that could be right, and i closed the mixture screws and turned them back 360 from what i heard that was right for just getting it started.
