    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 "sneeze"

My girlfriend's words.

"When I was sitting at a stop, every 10 seconds or so, a carb would sneeze. Why is it doing that?"

I was meaning to get on here and ask, but her description of it makes it 100x better.

Anyhow, at idle, one of the carbs every now and again seems to "puff" like a misfire. It's never the same one back to back, nor does it happen all of the time. Is that a "live with it sonny" sort of thing? Or do I have an issue that needs to be resolved?

At this point: carbs are NOT synced, haven't monkeyed with the ignition timing at all.
 
Spitting through the carburetor is too lean. Could be a vacuum leak if it's just one carb and everything else is ok.
 
Sounds lean at starting but would expect it would improve at least some after the bike is good and warm. Mine will spit a few times if it is good and cold but never does after it is warm. Maybe try getting the idle mixture a little richer.
