    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.

When I cleaned the carbs, I popped the aluminum puck and removed the airjets. Exactly what do these do and how critical is the setting of these and how would you go about retuning these anyway? (whew!)

Yes, I have been through that. Not to be short but it is more illustrative than descriptive. Not a put down of that work, it did me wonders and I'm thankful for it. I don't know if I'm going to mess with them now or not. The bike runs. Not well,but I took it down the street. I believe the regulator is also dead. I'm going to update a post to provide details.

The easiest way to set them is to tune them for "best idle". I synced my carbs, and then doing one carb at a time adjust the screw to get the highest idle. Reset to the desired idle speed and repeat the process for the next carb. Do this for each carb and you're done. Pretty simple.

Now that's about the best description I have read! thanks. Are they basically for idle/ low speed or do they serve a larger function?
