    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.

Torqued Vac Adjust Nut Too Hard?

How hard do you need to seat the locknut on the vacuum adjust screw when you sync your carbs? I think I torqued too much and messed up the threads so the screw and nut won't move independently. I have my carbs synced perfectly but the screw on carb 1 is not locked so I guess that won't last long. I guess I will also be posting in the parts wanted section. I backed the screw and nut all the way out but wasn't able to get them to move freely.
 
What are they... a 6-8 mm set up? Something like that. I usually just snug up all the "little fasteners" as anything more than that, is asking for trouble.

I know this isn't helping any, but I imagine there is a torque spec for them in the manual. :-s
