    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.

for the pilot screw mixture how long do you guys let it run for to achieve accurate coloring and do you let it idle or put around
 
yes i read it i just wanted opinions on if people did it that way or idled it?
 
oh. dont know much about plug chops. didnt know if you had seen that.
 
yeah i was going off of it but i have been just letting it idle and was wondering if that could cause bad results of loading of with fuel or anything so i wanted to see if it was necessary to drive it
 
You can idle it, but you have to idle it for quite a while, so why not just putt around the neighborhood for a while? That way you can at least get some air moving across it. Depending on how strenuous the ride is around the neighborhood, two to five minutes of putting around should give you good color.

Because the color will change so slowly on the pilot mixture, you don't have to chop the ignition and pull over to read the plugs. Just putt on home and check them in your driveway. After all, you are not going to change the reading by idling in your driveway. :o
