    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.

Why do these valve seat leak or not come out?

So being keen to impress y'all with a damned fine writeup I diassembled a spare rack of carbs I have lying around. It was preverse how easy they came apart with nary a cammed out screw head or anthing to speak of. Then came the needle valve seats. Last year I had to remove mine to replace the O-Rings and oddly had a bugger of a time then. This time the rings were in decent shape but the first one I tried was stubborn to the point of it's own destruction. ALAS! The second one in an odd twist came out with just a slight twist. The dome screen on this one was torn which is hard to fathom ( maybe some zealot of yore poked a wire into the hole? )

So now I have this cooking show breakdown of dismantling the carbs but have to replace a needle and seat. The manual claims that the units in this bike were machined to close toleramces due to EPA regulations. So where to get em I know they will not be cheap.



When I do finally get the parts I will do a pictorial. Man the emulsion tubes were filled with gelatinous slimy stuff. Varnish in process I suppose.
 
WOW! I need to get a new set of hands for pulling needle valve seats,
