    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.

It seems the #2 pipe stays cold most of the time...when I idle its dead, but when i rev it up it is very noticable when it kicks in....I tore the carbs apart and cleaned the snot out of them...had a little white/water in #2...cleaned all that out...but still does this...what am I missing? getting great fire so Im thinking the idle circuit is still clogged somewhere....any thoughts?
 
I had the same problem on #3. It was my airbox side boot not sealed all the way. Check your boots :)
 
If it remains cold at start-up, it's probably still something in the idle circuit.

Now that the snot has been cleaned out, go ahead and get the rest of the gunk out, too. 8-[
You shouldn't have to take them completely apart to clean the idle circuits. Remove the floats from #2 (that's the inside carb on on the clutch hand side, right?), then remove the jets that you can. Spray carb cleaner through all the jets, poke a copper wire strand through all the jets to make sure they are cleaned out real good. Make sure you have safety glasses on, spray carb cleaner through all the passages in the carb body, too. Poke a wire strand through these holes, too. Follow up with compressed air, and you should be good to go.

If it warms up a bit at idle but still kicks in later than the rest, check your carb sync. Could be that it's just opening later than the others. A good sync will take care of that. Before doing a sync, make sure your valves are properly adjusted.

If it's an 80 and up four cylinder the petcock vacuum line is attached to the #2 cylinder which might mean a bad petcock.
 
I will..

I will..

recheck the carb body and make sure its clear, I know they are not synced at all..dont have a sync tool yet...and I know the petcock was bad...I tore out the diaphram and capped the vacuum line off at the carb and tank...does this affect the carb at all??
