    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.

Cleaned Carbs - Same Problem

If you didn't set them correctly that's a likely problem, but also if you didn't take them out to clean the carburetors that's another likely problem.

That's right everyone - I did not take the mixture screws out when I soaked them. Bad boy. Cutting corners to save time does not always save time. I'm still going to start with the easy stuff.

Even if you clear up the immediate concern, your carbs are still filled with rubber O-rings that have been soaking in gasoline for 30 years. Best to change them now and cross that off the list of possible future problems.
 
Not to mention that if "soaked" means you dipped the carbs with the o-rings in place, they are likely trashed now since the carb dip eats the rubber.

What did you soak them in overnight?
 
Honestly, I'd back all the way up and start over or you'll be chasing your tail for awhile. It's a lot faster to do it right the first time in the long run (says the guy who's still learning that fact when it comes to electrical issues).
 
Thanks everyone. The mixture screw was almost falling out. Set it to 2 turns out and runs great.
