    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.

Starting trouble after R/R replacement

Just replaced my R/r and tried to start the beast. It turns over but won't catch. Carbs 2, 3, and 4 have fuel in the float bowls, # 1 doesn't. I have spark. The bike should turn over even without the #1 cylinder firing, correct? other than that, I cant think of anything else. Oh, I cleaned the Carbs using the carb rebuild instructions found on BikeCliffs page.
 
You need to have fuel in all the fuel bowls. Try removing the bowl and move the float, fuel should pour out. If not you'll have to remove the float and see check the needle valve.

Try spraying some carb cleaner into the air box and see if the engine will start. If it will the problem is fuel delivery, if not you've got ignition problems.
 
It starts! kinda......lol

It starts! kinda......lol

Ok, so I took off #1 float bowl, while the carbs were still on the bike (not very fun/easy) I found that my floatbowl gasket, homemade with gasket material, was making the float stick in the up/closed position. Once I fixed that, it started up after a few tries. I let it idle for a little while, then jumped on and cruised the nieghborhood a bit (so fun!!), then went back to the house to put some gear on and go for an extended ride. Once I got it in the driveway and got off, the idle started going low, then it died. I tried to restart but all I got was a click, click. So something else in my charging system is screwed up, right?
