    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.

Hello everybody! I am working on straightening out my air fuel ratio. I am using a wide band a/f meter. The bike idles at 14.7 to 1 with choke(terrible without), but as soon as I touch the throttle it leans out up to 18 to 1. The bike is completely stock. My metering rods in it only have one notch. So I haven't tried shimming. I've played around with pilot screws. With no success. Where should I go from here? I did take the rubber manifold off and checked out o rings. I haven't used any brake cleaner to check for any leaks yet.

First place to go is back to your signature and fill in what bike this is..for us to help you better answer your question and to prevent others from constantly asking you what bike it is.

You can only change the fuel to air ration at above 1/4 throttle by rejetting. Need details..and preferrably some pics also..of the exhaust and airbox setups. these details are crucial for an educated accessment of what going on. And at the top of the Carb section here, youll see STICKYS. Choose the one on CV carb tuning.
