    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.

Idle adjust knob

Which direction does the idle adjust knob need to turn to lower the rpm previous to an after sync start? Does this gadget ever bottom out or come completely loose from its housing? And any idea on a safe number of turns in or out as a starting point?
 
clockwise increases idle, starting point would be to wind it off the carbs, then wind it in until the slides just raise slightly. then adjust as required once the bike has warmed up

ive done hours of research and reading. countless sleepless nights just carefully working and inspecting the bike. waiting on a good place to find new boots and clamps then im set. but in all my reading, it didnt have exact instructions, until now.. whats the other "knob" with the spring on it? the one mounted on the block? this isnt listed either. maybe the choke adjust or something?

Not saying youre wrong cause im sure your not, but just to make sure, we are talking about the spring and knob on the intake side of the motor that faces out toward the right side of the bike? And positioned between #2 and #3... Why would the cam chain need an external adjustment like that? Thanks for the answer though.
 
In your welcome from Bikecliff, you will notice a link to his home page. Look on the right side and you will see a carb tutorial from Nessism. Every part of the carb is explained in simple fashion. Even I understand it ! Good luck.
 
My hats off to all you fellas. As well as my hands off the cc tensioner.
