    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.

My problem started out a few months ago, I fired my bike up and it wasnt running quite right, if I shifted into second gear it bogged down. I kept it in 1st gear and its top speed was around 25 mph. Now it has quit getting gas(I guess) if i spray starting fluid into th carbs it fires up but runs like crap. Does anyone know what the issue would be?

Hi Mr. OnebadGL,

Is there an inline fuel filter on your bike? There's no need for one if the tank and carbs are clean. The petcock could be failing. But the first suspect is the usually the carbs; dirty carbs, bad intake boots and O-rings. Sometimes there is no magic bullet and you just have to fix everything right so that you can start from a troubleshooting baseline. Here is a hearty welcome with lots of information to help you get started.

Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome". Please take notice of the "Top 10 Common Issues", the Carb Rebuild Series, and the Stator Papers. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...

honestly, i haven't dug in enough to even know if it has an inline fuel filter, I did have the carbs rebuilt and it ran great for about a week
 
Hi,

If you took it to a shop, I hate to say it, but the carbs were probably not rebuilt properly. The proper procedure is in your mega-welcome.


Thank you for your indulgence,
