    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.

Hey guys, here is the update:

Last night I got the body work back, put it all back together, started it up and Rrrraaarararrrrr. What a sweet sound. Oh, during the down time, I put on pods, stage 3 jet kit, and a 4-1 VH exhaust. I synced it and backed all the mixture screws out 4.5 turns out. So here is the problem.

Cyl 1 does not fire all the time. It fires:

  • When on full choke
  • When I hit the throttle hard to accelerate
When I rev it high and back it off, it backfires through the pipes. I pulled the plug, it sparks and was mildly wet.

What I think happened is that a little bit of gunk got into the carb. I had a water issue, I re-did the tank so there might have been dust/particles around. I'm planning on pulling the carbs for a quick clean.

If you have any other ideas, let me know. The 3 cycls that were firing were running great. Can't wait to get going.

I would start there and if you have not replaced the o-rings behind the intake rubbers, I would do that as well. Popping in the exhaust is almost always lean... :rolleyes:
 
Guys, where's the best source for new boots?

So far the lowest price I could find was at SHS Powersports.
 
I just bought them at my local OEM parts dealer. Now back to MY thread...
 
So, more weird happenings.

Cleaned the carb out, a little bit a gunk in there. Installed, didn't run for a wire. Switched spark plug 1 and 4, 4 started not to work. Replaced spark plug. 4 still not working. Switched wires, didn't matter. Switched spark plug between 3 and 4, 4 still not working. Things are still synched. I'm going to pullem all on saturday and clear them all out again. I think it is gunk.
 
How long has it been since the bike ran well on all four cylinders? :-k

If it is just being awakened after a winter sleep, you might as well pull the carbs all the way down and dip them.
With new boots, o-rings and a valve adjustment, I think you are only a good carb cleaning away from a nice-running bike.

I cleaned them just last year. When I pulled them out, they were clean except a little bit of rust dust from the tank being off then refilled. Plus, I cant attest to the cleanliness of the tank I put the gas into (and I reused the gas). A quick clean and new gas, and I think she will be roaring.
 
be sure to clean the very small passages in the float bowls...
 
Update: All works! Cleaned the carbs and got new gas. Runs like a champ. I will make a large, new post soon with many pictures. Probably Saturday. See you guys then.
