    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.

Been there done that partner! Exactly the same position I was in this summer. Keep at it. You'll get it going.


Thanks for the encouragement, man. I got the plates and passed my learner's permit test today, so now I am REALLY itching to have this thing fixed.
 
Here is a quick help that MAY end up curing your problem if its not too bad...at least it worked for me. Get some Gumout Carb cleaner and pour a little into your tank. Don't use the whole bottle and make sure you have a full tank of good gas. About 1/3 to 1/2 of the bottle should work. I've used it as insurance to make sure my carbs were cleaned before and it worked fine. Just don't use it too often so you don't harm any of your rubber inside the carb.
 
So I got it running! It turns out I did solve the fuel problem when I cleaned the petcock valve, but I had another problem that was related: my plugs were all fouled up. I bought new plugs, popped them in, and VROOM!

I spent the day out on the road, where it was 68 and sunny here in NC. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Well, it sounds awesome, but we'll have to see where my skill level is by this summer, I'm just starting out. I'm still conquering my fear of going over 45mph, so right now the Tail of the Dragon sounds a bit out of my league. We'll see how I feel by June! Thanks for the invite Adam!
 
You've got the perfect learning bike. I learned to ride on it too! Good luck and be careful . . . they are all out to get you! :-|
