    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.

Pilot Jet cleaning

How can you tell if you need to replace the Pilot Jets? I have removed mine out of the carbs and cleaned them with carb cleaner. They are the CV type so they have only 1 inlet passage. Should I replace them or go with it?
 
Re: Pilot Jet cleaning

If you have cleaned them, I see nothing to be gained by replacing them.

Well, that's what I say too. Others have said "you just as well should replace them because you can't get all the rust out of them."
They look / flow ok to me.
 
Clean is clean. Ol or new, that means there is no obstruction. :-) Besides, brass doesnt rust. heh heh heh

EUREKA!!! Man I tell ya brilliance is everywhere!!! You Da man Earl!!! An update on my project. Im in the process of cleaning the tank(Rust removal) with a product from Sudco called "Rustol". It worked great for the first 12 hours and then disaster struck. I checked the tank the next morning and rust was everywhere. A ticked me and a call to Sudco was in order. They said your not suppose to use the 10:1 ration but the 5:1 is best. They were nice enought to send me a free bottle so today it will get another wash. Carbs, after an entire supersize can of carb cleaner, and new needle and seats, it's time to go back together. I tell ya I just might make it before the snow fly's!
