    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.

Smell gas when stop ridding

So many of you have been so helpful about this I wanted to do a follow up. This last Sunday (before the Colts game) I let it run and rode for about 15 miles and back to the garage. Smell wasn't as bad but still noticible. I checked for smell in crank case and nothing. Plugs looked good. I could also see part of a fresh gasket from the valve covers so I am hoping the PO actually did do the valve adjusting but if not I'll look into that more later. BWringer told me that theres a connection between 2 and 3 carb ( I think he said) and there could be a crack there causing a small enough leak but evaporating before I can actually see it. I went to a friends house and got his telescoping adjusting mirror that he uses on his wrenching and still can't find anything there yet.

On a side note this last summer my fan burned up LOL, so i'll wait a bit before starting it up again to look more into it. It seems winter is back and too nasty out to ride. BWringer is also going to come over soon and see what he can find. Let him make a to-do list for me:eek:.

I'll post more when I can, thanks again everyone. :)
