    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Just a note on the creeping idle- it's gone and the new boots did the trick.
Really smoothed out the RPM's at high speed and no bog or hesitation at any throttle.
 
LMAO- ah that was great! How about running like a raped ape!
Find that one!!!!!:eek:
 
Hey bazooka,

I have an 82 T as well and it runs but the idle does tend to creep to about 2k when it gets warm and when cold the throttle tends to bog down at half rev.

You replaced the carb boots and it fixed these issues on your T?

Congrats on getting yours running smoothly!

Thanks!!
 
First, it's "Badooka" with a D, not "Bazooka" with a Z, but that doesn't really matter. :o

There is a pretty good chance that the boots are your problem, as well. New ones are less than $15 each.

While you are at this, have you cleaned the carbs and replaced all the o-rings in there?

Also, have you adjusted the valves and synchronized the carbs?

All of these are somewhat IMPORTANT for a smooth-running, reliable bike.

My mistake - Sorry Badooka. Fairly certain that was autocorrect because I just had to change it back from 'bazooka.' :D

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the feedback! All of these items are on my to-do list. I've read a ton of great info on this forum (other newbies mega welcomes and much more) and have just started completing work to get the bike safe to ride again.

-Caliper rebuild/clean out
-Stainless steel brake lines built and installed
-Rebuilt blinker/horn/headlamp switch housing
-Fixed front brake switch
-new rear shocks (Hagon) should arrive today (originals wouldn't dampen at all)

Carbs and valves are next.

I'm taking this all very slowly as this is my first bike and my first project of this nature. Looking forward to the experience and hopefully being able to share some of my findings/progress with this community.

Thanks again!

Where did you find "autocorrect" on this site? :-k

And that's yet another reason that I disable any auto-correct, auto-format, auto- just about anything when I install a program.
