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.
Running lean, how bad is it?

Yeah, unfortunately it didnt help. It was too low to keep running afterwards. Carbtune came in the mail today, so im pretty excited to get to it. Probably not today though, we'll see.
In a matter of about ten hours yesterday (off and on) I was able to get the bike running like a top. Now it runs very smooth and has stable RPM's at idle and while riding.
I intended to just use the carbtune to do the vacuum sync and ride but as suggested, I went ahead and checked all the valve clearances. The windjammer and bracket had to come off for that though. There were a couple valves on the tight side so I changed out two shims, switched two and got them all within the middle of the spec clearance range. None were more than one shim size out though. I also replaced the spark plugs and changed the engine oil and filter. Then after all that was done, I put the carbtune to work. I was struggling with the bracket that holds the throttle and choke cables on top of carb #3. It was blocking access to the sync screw. I had been trying to use the cable for the rpm adjustment and kicked myself when I finally realized I could use the knob under the carbs for that, and as Steve suggested just take that bracket off temporarily. The brass 5mm adapters that screw into the carb boots were a PITA! Here's what I ordered. Maybe some others are better to use than these. When they heated up the vacuum hoses kept popping off.
Now that it's running right I can ride down to see my boy at his college, NMSU, about 200 miles south of here which I'm hoping to do this week.
