    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'm cleaning my carbs the proper way (chem-dip) now and was just checking the fuel mixture screws to make sure everything was ok with them and the end of the screw on one of the outside carbs looks like it's had the tip cut off. Is this normal or should I just order a new set. The rest of the o-rings on tall of them seemed a little worn anyway.

Sorry to say it is probably broken off in your carb body.

Agree. Not too difficult to remove the broken piece though.

I repaired one using a sharpened piece of mig wire, bent at right angles so it could be pressed out from the carb throat side. Worked well, without doing too much damage to the needle seat.

Hey Bill, I see in your signature, you've got a Hines & Kerker 4-1 on your beast. Kerker headers/V&H muffler or vice versa?

Actually I just put a new v&h pipe on it. I used to have a kerker header and a v&h can.
Good to hear from you Ian.
