    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.

Carb Dip Everything?

When I dip the carbs, do I dip everything (except rubber and diaphragm). Do I dip all the jets and choke plungers, etc?

Don't think I should dip the starter/choke plungers, they have an o-ring and boot that I do not have replacements for.

Not the plungers, they have a rubber piece that would melt.

choke plungers

...not only do they melt, but it so happens they rather quickly dry out and crack. I believe there is irreversible damage happening within an hour

(Ask me how I know :o)

One word about carb dip: I can't say for Berryman's as I have not been able to find it north of the 49th, but the stuff I use (Kleen-Flo) is nasty :eek:

The smell will linger on anything that comes in contact with it (including the ground/earth) for what will seem like decades. It also makes a very effective (albeit it smelly) paint remover. If your carbs are already painted/powder-coated, they will most likely bubble off in the dip.

EDIT- by the way, nice ride. Rather fond of the 650G myself
 
Dip Needle Valve?

Dip Needle Valve?

I've only dipped one carb so far and it occurs to me that the needle valve's screen has a hard plastic that holds it in place. I have removed it from the dip and it appears fine (after about an hour and a half sitting in there). Should I dip the other needle valves?

The consensus seems to be that you can leave them on, but I'm in favour of popping them off

Because it's so much more FUN and CONFUSING. :D
