    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.

Well, I managed to have a low speed tipover while entering my driveway today. :roll: There was a guy on a 10 speed coming out on the wrong lane of the driveway and when we met up I jacknifed the steering and flopped over. I figured it was better to stop rather than run him down but obviously I didn't use enough back brake. Luckily the only damage was a little scuff on the brake lever so there were no hard feelings. I didn't even brake the bottle of beer in my hand... :lol:

Anyway, Betty didn't spool up right away (started no problem but no power) so I assume I got some oil in the jugs. Can I ignore this or will I need to clean the plugs?

Thanks, Steve
 
did she clean out and run fine? or is she still not right? if she still is not running correctly have a close look at the carburetor boots, sometimes a sharp blow will tear them loose from their bases and you will get a nasty vacuum leak.
If you picked her up quick, only a small amount of gas should have leaked out the main jets, it would have to lay on it's side for a extended period of time for any significant amount of oil to get past the rings.
 
Re: Post tip-over inspection

You dont need any rear brake. All you have to do is straighten up the handlebars.
