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.
Clean them good!!
Clean them good!!
No, you need to take them completely apart and soak them in carb cleaner. Make CERTAIN that you take apart everything and separate every component. Don't put ANYTHING made of rubber in the bath. If your air mixture screws are capped, you'll need to gently drill through the cap where you'll find a screw...(each carb). Remove the screw and the needle will be surrounded by a small rubber O-ring. After you've soaked everything good, check to see that the jets are the proper size and that they're clear of debris. Don't re-use anything that looks to be worn out because you don't want to have to do it all over again. Put them back together and you'll be ready to rock-n-roll. Good luck! By the way, on my bike, the hardest part of the job is getting the damn things off and on! :roll:
