    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.

It just won't run right

The ignition is helpful but it won't solve your problem. You need to go through the carbs. George is not known for his amazing work..
 
While a carb cleaning may be in order, I think you guys have missed the essential item here-WG set the carbs up for pods and a 4-1, Geronimo went to stock exhaust instead.

This requires rejetting the carbs as it's now too rich. What jet sizes were put in? If you don't know take the carbs off, pull out a jet and see what size it is

W-G set the carbs up for the stock set up,but he told me that i didn't need to re-jet if i wasn't racing. I just want this thing to run. I got good compression and everything else has been tended to ,just can't get it all to mesh properly . I'm even thinking about going to some racing flat slide carbs. The jets are biggger now.

I'm just getting a dry black soot on the plugs. The bike runs good for about a half hour then they foil out the plugs. the carbs have bigger jets,
