    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...

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.

More carb stuff

Re: More carb stuff

The parts/carb cleaner I use is GUNK Hydro Seal II. A gallon can was about $9. You can reuse it, so after soaking a carb body, I just pour it through an old fuel filter and back into the can. You need to take everything out of the carb body. All plastic, all rubber, all jets, washer, springs, gaskets, etc. You soak the BARE carb body. Usually 24 hours is sufficient, but I have had to soak carbs for as long as five days if they were really left clogged for years. The carb kit you bought is for a VM mechanical type carb. I dont know if you realized that that is one kit and rebuilds one carb. If you are doing all your carbs, you will need four of those kits.

I hope these will work.

Now the next question.

What type of solvent or cleaner is required to clean the carb bodies and stuff, and which parts of the carbs need to be cleaned?

Thanks,

Email them if you need 3 more kits. They will get them out to you I have ordered from them, Delivery is very good 3-5 days
 
I got 4 of the kits, so not too worry. Thanks for the heads up on the cleaning stuff Earl. So how do you go about cleaning the jets and stuff, if the gunk only cleans the carb bodies?

You can put any metal parts in the carb cleaner. Jets are so small, I would probably just put them in a old glass or jar and a couple ounces of cleaner. :-)

Usually if you buy a gallon of carb cleaner it comes with a small basket
for the small parts
