    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.

Forum Newbie
my name is dave i am in minnesota and was wondering if anyone can help me find a kit or rebuild my carbs my phone is 507-357-4222. carbs are currently off bike
 
Yep, You DO NOT need a kit. 90% of our carbs just need new orings, and bowl gaskets. Gaskets can be had on Z1enterprizes.com, and the Orings you can get in a complete set all labeled and sorted out for you from Cycleorings (a member of this site) As stated above, do not forget the intake boot orings. Replacing them is a MUST DO.

Click the link in my Sig, there's a whole world of info for you there. incl;uding a well tried and true carb rebuild tutorial that IF FOLLOWED with care, will net you clean well set up carbs that will be good for years to come. Just remember, shortcuts only seem to be easier. With these bikes, do it right the first time or you will get to do it again and again.
