    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Success!

Thanks to all out there advising me on my bike. I switched the line to the petcock and the bike ran like a top (abet with a large oil leak). I still had to push start the thing, as the starter does not seem to want to start it (likely I ran down the battery with my previous attempts at fixing it). I also blew out the turn signals somehow. However, I was able to ride the bike to the clerk's office to finally get the plates I needed. Couldn't be happier, at least for today. Thanks again. I am sure you all will hear from me again when I tear down the engine in the winter to replace the bottom gasket. Great site.
 
Congrats!

Congrats!

You are on your way, Mr. Firebirdracer82. Tackle one problem at a time, the most critical first, and soon you'll have a great bike. Thanks for the update.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Sadly, it's the cylinder base gasket. Also, there's something draining the battery. However, it rode great last night.

for the gasket, check for proper torque on the head nuts first
for the battery drain, test the charging system as per the Stator Papers on the homepage
