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.

A moment for clarification please

It's seems fairly obvious to me that the carb's inlet is at the rear, ie connected to the airbox - because that's where the air is drawn In to the carb. And passes Out of the carb through the Outlet, into the engine.

It seems to me that the confusion may arise because when people are talking about the 'inlet' side, they are, in fact, talking about the inlet side of the engine, rather than the inlet side of the carb itself - ie "carbs are on the inlet side of the engine, therefore the bit of the carb that connects with the engine is the inlet".

If you look at the carb in isolation, there's only one place where the air come In, and another where the air goes Out.

And once it goes Out of the carb, it does go into the Inlet tracts and valves of the engine - but they are not part of the carb......
