    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.

Starting Issue

  • Thread starter Thread starter Big Red
  • Start date Start date
The 80 L petcocks had no lever. You turn them with a small flat screw driver. When the slot is horizontal it is in run position. When the slot is vertical it is in prime position. There is no off or reserve position.
 
Went for a quick ride last night. noticed a few more things that need to be looked at.

when starting out in 1st gear almost stalls out then the throttle kicks in but that is the gear or point there is hesitation.

last turn signal: not flashing

first start is hard but after that it starts right up everytime.

I hope to get me hands on a carbtuen this weekend to tune in the carbs. but everything seems great right now. so far.
 
Signal lights

Signal lights

Ok folks bike running great still need to tune-up the carbs but other then that engine running great. now for some electrical and appearance work.

left signal light works most of the time if it is not working i just give the signal relay a tap with a knuckle and it starts working fine. but the right signal doesn't work at all. is this an issue corrected by changing out the signal relay following the steps found on the forum. or is the issue somewhere else..

Edit: replaced the signal relay works great now. NExt up Carbtune...
