    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.

Cold Header

Just want to let everyone know how to deal with a cold header...........or at least one way. I was having issues with one header staying cold for a while during startup. It didn't seem to affect performance or idle much, though now that it's fixed, it seems to need less choke to start. I removed the float bowl and where the gas pick up tube feeds into the side of the bowl, that passage to the bottom of the bowl was blocked. I actually couldn't get mine cleared out so I replaced the bowl with another I had. Impatient I guess. I pulled the idea straight from BikeCliff's site.

It's on page 51 of 77 of the bs cv carb rebuild guide. Thought this would be helpful for users doing a quick search for their problem!
 
and another way

and another way

if you run it with the air box or pod off,while its IDLING bravely put your hand (or other object if your not brave) over the intake, and seal off the air to the offending cylinder, this will apply vacuum to the fuel circuits, and may pull out a minor blockage. (olddirt biking tip to clear water)

Also if you put your finger over the small idle intake (the one on the left with the air jet) same thing but just for that circuit. (if it dosnt suck its completely blocked.)
