    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.

1150 Carbs on an 1100

I managed to lay my hands on a set of 1150 carbs and coils at a reasonable deal. My 1100 EZ has allways had a flat spot ot two, it idled a bit rough and had an idle mixture screw that was snapped off fairly well out. Stripped the 1150 carbs and discovered that they are 36 mm CV's rather than the 34 mm origionals though the boot fitting was the same. I had a carb kit here and fitted new float valves and gaskets. I noticed the main jets were 120's ewhere the old 1100 carbs were fitted with 112.5's. After a bit of head scratching and guess work about the 1150 pump VS the 1100 and the larger carb bore, I rummaged around in my shed and came up with a set of 115's. Put it all together and, viola a new bike, it idles well, has no more flat spots and has a heck of a lot more grunt than it ever had. Its like a new bike. Have had a good look at the plugs after a long ride and they are showing a good colour and the oil temp is lower. I suspect more fuel usage but I've been running 3 teeth down on the rear sprocket so It is fairly lean and mean anyway on a trip. A reasonable mod to do on any 1100 I reckon.
 
Also, put a set of 3.0 ohm (green) Dyna coils & plug wires on it as the STOCK coils are notoriously GARBAGE. This helps a LOT! Ray.
