    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...

    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.

Back fire thru #1 carb

first timer

Forum Sage
i am get a small back fire thru my carb especially when i just start the bike up. i know the rubber intake boot is cracked and is probally letting too much air into the air/gas mix cause it to back fire and low idel speed. i have gooed up the crack with rvt gasket seallent but it only seems to help for a little while. So besides from knowing that i have to buy new intake boots and o-rings what elese could be causeing my bike to back fire thru carb #1. i just wanted to get some other ideas that could cause it before i put a order in for the boots, if i needed any other parts. the carbs have been cleaned well recently.

Thanks

:lol: :lol: I think you already hit the nail on the head, Ryan. You say as soon as you patch the cracks with gasket sealant, it improves....(although only temporarily). Get the new boot(s), and o-rings :lol: :lol:

The leak can cause it to run too lean.
 
I saw this somewhere else on this board and someone mentioned the bike is running too lean. Maybe that will help you.

Good luck
