    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.

a few questions for the experienced .i am going to learn how to sync my carbs.do you guys recomend the bar with the mercury in it or the seperate guages that i have seen out there? how long will it take to get the hang of doing the job properly ? how much messing about do you have to do on the carbs to get them in sync ?(i know,it depends right ?) .how often do you re-sync the carbs once you get them set ? is this a seat of the pants difference or does it just make it run smoother ? thanks in advance Mark
 
I would get the mercury tubes, lots easier to use Just make sure to hang them higher that the carbs and DO NOT rev the motor with them connected or it will suck the mercury out
 
Re: sync tool

Having the carbs synched accurately and at the correct vacuum levels is a night and day difference in how the bike will run. You will be amazed and will never again consider trying to "by guess and by golly" tune your engine.
It is not difficult, but for a really fine carb synch, you will need to practice being anal retentive. Attention to small detail and slight changes is the key.
Do all adjustment in small increments, working back and forth between all the carbs. When you are ready, start a new topic and we can go into any details.

For my money, the best setup is the Morgan Carbtune. Purchased one about 3 years ago and it makes balancing a breeze. They also sell a tool to help lock the adjustment (doesn't work for my setup).

Look them up on the web, based out of the UK.

I use a Motion Pro mercury gauge. Very easy to use and works well. $40.
You should also pick up a couple of fans to cool the motor, especially when you're just learning. These bikes hold their synch's a long time. It's not hard, you just need patience sometimes. We'll help you.
