    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.

air screw setting increments for safe p. chopping

Hey guys.

82' 1000 Kat, pods, mtc open header 4 into 1. Stage 1 back in, used to have a stage 3, didn't run too smooth though.

Checked my plugs, running lean, as in crisp white. I would normally plug chop her as I turned out the air screws, but I don't want to run her so lean and create an expensive problem. Can anyone tell me how many turns I could back the air screws out from where they are now (2 1/2), to make it safe enough to take her on the road and plug chop her?

I know this is a shot in the dark for you guys, but I guess what I'm asking is what increments could I use to get her away from lean quickly. 1 turn? 2? I would rather be rich to start off, and trim the fuel down, you know what I mean.
 
Backing the screws out will add more air, thus making it more lean. Turn them in to decrease the air, and richen the mix. Probably 1/4 to 1/2 turn, then recheck.

Holy crap. I've always thought turn them out increased FUEL. So the 'air screws actually control air? Like as in vacuum to increase or lower fuel? never messed with these much until recently.

CV carbs. Out to richen.
 
I have had VM carbs on the brain lately, didn't even think about your bike having CV carbs. But if I understand the cv carbs, you are not controling the air, but instead the gas. So therefore clockwise leans the mix, counterclockwise richens the mix.
