    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.

will only run on choke. Will now somewhat accept throttle while choke is on but will not idle without choke. Choke seems to work like a throttle even after it's hot.
 
Adjusted float levels, they were way too low. Cleaned pilot jets, (#40s) backed out the mixture to 2 full turns. got it to idle. dropped the clips down to 2 from the bottom. She takes throttle and idles with no choke now. Still a little boggy off idle. Maybe go all the way to the bottom notch on the needles??

Wait, this is an 1100 right?? Your pilots are too small. Stock is 45 i do believe.....
 
I guess that would explain a lean idle and transition to throttle, huh.:rolleyes:

Like I said on the phone...hard to trust someone else's work. :mad: Glad to hear that the problem was partially due to the floats being off. Don't mess with the needles yet. Get the right pilots in there, set the needle where the kit says to, then do plug chops at minimum, half, and full throttle. Start with full throttle first and work down. You can't set the needles without first knowing that the mains are the right size.
