    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.

started carb rebuild- question

I have mine apart right now and am just hoping that the air and fuel mix screws are not as critical as the haynes manual has me believing. I marked mine so I should be able to get them set back pretty close to where they were. If these settings are as critical as haynes says, I think everyone would have nightmares about taking them apart for dipping.

The mix screws are critical to tuning of the carbs. If moved from their original settings the carbs will generally be out of sync. Other factors can also cause carbs to go out of sync apart from cleaning. By 'sync' I mean the overall air/fuel tuning of each carb. Naturally all four carbs should have the same mix for proper running.

If you marked them and can get them back to their original positions you may be ok. Good luck.
