    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 O-rings?

Just a quick question. Are there supposed to be O-rings on the backs of the carbs that slide into the carb holders or is the notch just for the lip in the carb holder to slide into?
 
What????? You mean the rubber holders that the carbs mount in? Bolted to the engine?

There are orings in the bases of them..between the flanges and the engine only. There are raised ridges molded into the rubber that click into the groove on the carbs throats if thats what youre asking.
 
Take a bungee cord and pump up the front brakes and wrap it around the lever to hold thew brakes. This helps to keep the bike from rolling off the nstand as you wriggle the carbs into the boots. I also drop a rear foot peg and get my leg in front of it for added leverage.

Be certian you "feel" the ridges slip into the grooves on the carbs. A little dab of water on the carb throats will help lube them for the process of getting them seated in.
 
ok thanks for the tip. I am waiting one the clamps to arrive so I can get it all hooked back up and out on the road.
