    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 did check it and the reason for my responding.

Your carbs still aren't right in my humble opinion.

You need to make an adapter to use in place of a carb drain screw, then connect a piece of clear tubing up to that adapter and hold it along side the float bowls, while the engine is running so as to be able to check 'wet' fuel level's on each carb.
 
It's either rich or lean.

Rich:
Do you smell gas in the airbox? Could be a stuck or leaking float.

Lean:
Could you have pinched the fuel or vacuum line going to the petcock when you reinstalled the tank?
 
I'm waiting on all brand new o-rings from cycleorings just to rule out anything inside leaking. But as far as the plug goes on the pilot jet. Any insight there. Like I said there was never one in there when I took them apart. EVER.

I could smell a little gas in the airbox but it wasn't an overwhelming smell and no the vacuum line is not pinched. I've also tried the starting fluid spray check for any leaks. I won't be tinkering wth it today because it decided to snow outside last night and get ridiculously cold out. Don't really feel like turning on the heater.

There isn't supposed to be a plug on the pilot jet. If there was it wouldn't be able to draw fuel. Do you mean over the fuel mixture screw?

No. I read somewhere(can't remember exactly where for the life of me) that there was a plug the went on the pilot jets in the float bowl on the mikuni bs34 carbs. May not be relevant to our bikes but I just wanted to make sure.
