    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.

No airbox, as in no air filter setup at all??

Edit; probably best to stop here and move this problem to carb section forum as this ain't electrical problem

Well, there is alot more to worry about then clear main jets. At 2k and light load, the bike is still running on its idle circuits. Best to assume your carbs need attention ( full cleaning) unless the PO was your best friend and convinced you that it ran perfectly.

Fair enough, but best to get it running right with stock airbox and then let the pod fun begin!
 
what are you thinking i remember the rubber plugs in the bowls were pretty bad when i pulled one and let it sit for a little while it shrank and was to small to stay in

At this time of day I seldom know what I am thinking, but I do know that those rubber plugs cover the pilot (aka slow) jets- the pilots are intentionly designed to be fed by a slot in main jet cavity. Yeah, they shrink when dried out but usually swell when gas hits them. And anyways the fuel bowl bottom holds them in place .
The stock CV carb setup was "tuned " to run with a slightly restrictive intake- they don't seem to enjoy running without their stock airbox unless you alter carb jetting.
