    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.

Throttle/Butterfly Shaft End Cap Seals????

I recently had my carbs cleaned and the throttle shafts were not disassembled, but when I put them back on the bike there was (and is) a whistling sound, like a tweeting bird coming from the end cap of this shaft.

It's clear that some tiny amount of air is leaking through this rubber gasket on the end of the throttle shaft.

Anyone know where I can find these?? This could be a tough one to track down...but it's got to be leaning out my mixture, I can hear air whistle through with every intake stroke.
 
I am going to guess that you have a bike with CV-type carbs, but until we get some hints as to what bike we are talking about, there will be no suggestions.

Please take a moment or three and add a signature that mentions your bike. :pray:
