    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.

ok quick question i know there are left and right boots but do you assemble them like u are sitting on the bike left on left right on right or from the front of the bike because by sitting on the bike way i cant seem to get my damn carbs to set on all 4 of them. i have been ****ing with it for about 4 hrs and i am getting no where and running out of ways to try and get it done.
(even tried a pry bar to push them in)
 
If you had them on wrong side they would be so far off that it would be obvious.

I dont know about if you had the 2 left on left and 2 right on right (how ever that is defined), but if they where upside down, dont know how that would effect things. Have you concidered that?

Have you tried some lube of any sort? I recall using some WD-40 and still struggling for some time and it involved a piece of lumber so could push on all four at once. But the lube helped.
And then it went so much easyer after I replaced the intake boots with new ones (had a couple that were cracked and then was backfiring real bad).

it looks like it is lined up pretty decent so i thought they were right. i i have one of the outer ones clamped and was trying to get the other side in and cant seem to push the carbs that far forward. i even tried to loosen the boot and then put it on clamp it and tighten back up but i cant seem to get it like that either
