    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.

Check for spark- doublecheck plug wires on correct plug- check for gas in all carbs by opening bowl drain screws. Ok, benched sync'd- do throttle plates seem almost closed and throttle cable is not holding them open?
 
checked for spark on my lunch break and all four are sparking (plugs are new too).
will check bowl drain screws tonight or tomorrow for gas and yes throttle plates do seem almost closed and throttle cable is not holding them open.
thanks for the help, as soon as i check the drain screws ill let ya know. oh and i'll check that plug wire is on the right plug
 
The wires or caps can break down so even though you see spark one may not fire properly. I chased my tail for a long time over one of those.
 
Since I don't see that you have done an on-the-bike vacuum sync, that would be rather high on my suspect list. :-\\\

.
 
this might be a dumb question but whats the proper way to perform an on the bike vacuum sync!?! thanks
