    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.

I cant run right,
I just got some new ignition coils and a good spark but I'm still missing. (compression test was good too) I think I'm fouling out immediately after I start, when I pull the plugs from they look glossy and unfired, but when I do the spark test its all good. Both 2 and 3 aren't firing all because of the carbsss??? I know this could sound like ignition (but I have a crazy spark when the plugs are out of the cylinders) , however I also remember having 2 of my needles having notches in them in the carbs when I took them apart (the short stubby needle for the float bowl valve) Can I do something with
the air screws to adjust the amount of gas/air I'm getting or do I need to get new needles?
 
have you tried running petrol form another source other then the tank you run on the bike?
