    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.

Finally got the tires on and carbs straight, man what a diff.having them synced-returns right down to base idle nicely:) I do have a tiny tad hesitation at a stop, not sure if I should try richening or leaning/ or thru bottom fuel pilot or side air pilot screw? Still need to ck.set timing with my new T-light from harborfreight but she's close....
 
Turn each in ( richer ) 1/8 and see what it does then. If not better, then return them back out the 1/8..to where they are now..and then each out ( leaner ) 1/8 to compare .
 
well I think I'm there..or close enough, lol! Got a new light and checked, found 1 & 4 timing wayy off. Seems to do well from a stop now.
 
I would check the synch and idle adjustments again once the timing is fixed.
 
Tom is spot on...change anything and you recheck everything...thats the way these systems intertwine for optimal performance.
 
I haven't vacuum synced the carbs, probably done now for this year. I've got my fuel pilot's at 3/4 and readjusted my air pilot's to 1 1/4.
 
You running electronic ignition or points and concensor? If points, then I would consider just getting new ones and be done with all new stuff right from jump street...youll be glad with the piece of mind that all has been addressed properly.

If you are putting it away for the winter, why not put it away ready to ride?

LOL, I'd say I did, I've been reconditioning this full time for the past 4-5 weeks. I'll be keeping it for another week before it goes to its winter resting spot...right where my next project is parked, an early 69' cb750 wid a rusty tank...:(
