    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.

I have read thru the posts re: throttle cable that wont move, pulls hards, etc. my problem is the throttle cable on a 78 550 I just bought only moves about one-half an inch. I ran oil thru the cables, everything seems ok inside the throttle twist. this bike has been sitting for 2 years, where do I look? thanks
 
different carbs, but on mine the screws for the boot clamps can get awfully close to the throttle mech on carb #3, and I've had it hang up on that before.
 
answered mine own question, took the top of the carbs off, one of the slides was stuck due to gas gum, so sprayed out with cleaner and works perfect....will run seafoam or carb cleaner in new gas and hope I dont have to take carbs off and rebuild.
 
Why are you hoping to not do it? Just tear them apart and get it done so you KNOW what they are like and how they will act. It will take all of 4 days to do it right - a lot better than maybe weeks trying to figure out why this or that happens.
