    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.

Strangest thing i ever did see. Still having engine problems with a cylinder.

Just thought i would add that little tidgit as to what they function for.

EDIT...Also, youn run the vent tubes down between the swingb arm mand tranny and the ends are about 1 inch BELOW the oil pan..as the air rushes over the ends they get a little extar help equalizing the air. kinda like sucking on a straw draws the air out so the liquid can flow in.

Should I install the dyna coils I didn't need bit now have before rebalance?
 
Totally your call. If the originals are all good, may just save the other coils for when they ..or one.. goes bad and then youll have spares on the shelf.

That would be an answer better served from someone else..ive never used them and all my stuff is bone stock setups.

Ok I'm not too big to admit I may be a moron. Kept hearing this puff and then a sputter. So.... I played detective. Hear is what lab analysis shows. I balanced the carbs and went through all this testing without the vacuum line from carb 2 that runs to the tank plugged. In my excitement I completely forgot. Yup it was WIDE OPEN sucking in air and sputtering. Will attempt a rebalance later. But bike is running and I put my finger over the vacuum hose and #2 pipe gets hot.

Congratulations!
It is so easy to miss a step, overlook something when you're working on these old bikes and it does create problems later.
I do it all the time myself (Alzheimers I think), so if things don't work out or I have a problem, it usually leads me to something I recently did.
I always try to work on them with a clear head, no interuptions, no beer,
and not rush things. My biggest problem, missplacing my tools. Drives me nuts, just had it now where did I put it. No doubt I lose alot of time relocating tools I just used. Now where did that oil drain plug go?
 
Ok well here we are. Not much riding in but after going back through everything I finally seem to have this all tamed out. With no indication that it was the problem it seems my coil for 2 and 3 was getting wonky. Tested completely fine but when I installed the dyna's everything went away.
