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.

after a long time sitting.

Have a couple of questions for those who have been through this before.

1) I got the carbs back on today with the stock air box and now I need to know the correct way to route the clutch cable. Does it go between carb 1 and 2 or should it be off the outside of #1?

2) I acquired a stock exhaust last fall and am almost ready to put it on. It appears as though a PO must have broken off 2 of the bolts and it looks to me like he replaced them with 3/8" bolts. I guess after re-boring the holes in the head and re-tapping them. My question is how should I attack this problem? I could just enlarge the holes in the two flanges and put the oversized bolts into the head that way. Or the other way would require more work but I would have to use an insert of some kind.

It would be nice to have all the bolts the same size but is the extra work worth it ?

Thanks for your input in advance.

Clutch cable between 1 and 2. The time to fix the bolts is when the head is off, or at least the engine is out. If it's already back together you are pretty much stuck with whatever size he used. You want to use new studs though, old heat cycled bolts tend to break off. Use anti seize on them too.
 
I can do this, it just means I will have to enlarge the holes on the 2 flanges, no big deal I guess.

Thanks for your input.
