    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.

I finally got a #3 carb.:clap: Now I can put them back together and see if it runs now that I have adjusted the valve clearences, replaced the Rectifier, cleaned the tank, replaced the petcock, and tightened the muffler bearing.:p

Oops... I forgot the O-Rings.:eek:

Time to go to www.cycleorings.com to order some.

I wanted to ask a question. My poor bike has been sitting for years in the PO's back yard and it looks like it. Do you guys think it will be worth it to tear it down remove the rust and paint it? I have little time to work on it because I work 6 days a week and have to keep up 5 acres with 7 horses 4 dogs and a cat.

Please let me know.

Thanks guys
Bones
 
Maybe just a rustoleum job to keep the rust at bay for a while. Get her running and see how she treats you.
 
I was kinda headed in that direction because this is my first bike and I think I would die if I wrecked it after I restored it.
 
Bones, my bike is rather.....rough, as well. My first priority was to get it mechanically sound. After alot of work, time and money, it is. I still have some suspension work to do, but, it's rideable. Now, it's warming up and there's simply no time for cosmetics. I plan on riding as is this season and stripping it down to the frame next winter for a proper restoration.:)
 
Thanks Larry. I guess riding a um...rough bike is better than not riding any.:D
