    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Your mention of "a load of sealer" is worrying... there shouldn't be any sort of goop, sealer, crud, or crap anywhere near your carbs.

And as always, check valve clearances (no guessing or believing anything a PO told you - check them yerdamself) and make absolutely sure that the air filter is very lightly oiled and the airbox and filter are sealed.

What Brian said. The green one. I did the same thing the first time I measured floats. I measured at the float hinge and Keith set me straight. Bike didn't run right.

I think hes talking of the rubber plug that goes in the jet hole there...comes in all the CVs ive opened up...
 
Nah, some sealer around the inlet boots is what I meant, no sealer around the carbs themselves. All now stripped & replaced with good O rings. The carbs are literally spotless.

I did take the measurement at the wrong point so they are much leaner than I thought they were... I guess. I need to mess around again. should have left them alone :lol:
It certainly sounds as if they could cure my lean symptoms. I could also do with Getting some new mixture screws so I can tweak those too.

Would the previously drilled slides screw me? My bike is defo very sensitive to throttle movement, I guess that's why it's better the smoother I roll on throttle.

Thanks for the help.

Dan :)
