    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.

It ran perfect when I parked it in the fall. Now #3 cyl is missing. Well not actually missing, I found it located between #2 and #4, but it is not running right. Probably should have drained the carb bowls because I found some "jelly" in the bowls. Which is surprising because the carbs and tank were cleaned last year. I can't believe that happen in a few months. Crap gas! I did not start the bike all winter but it was in heated storage. Next year we are going to drain the carbs! I'm not to clever but I am trainable!
:lol:
 
Hi
A better solution is to add gas stabalizer in the fall or anytime before storage. An empty carb can still grow fuzz it is said. I use stabalizer in all my seasonal stuff and in the spring, I just push the button and it starts just like that.

I make sure to keep a full tank (100% full) and use the stabilaizer whenever I'm gonna have the same gas in the tank for a few months. That gives the dilution and makes sure there isn't any condensation to worry about in the tank.
 
I drain the carbs and spray WD40 in the tank. No problems. I'm too cheap to buy stabilizer and waste a full tank of gas. :lol:
 
Cleaned the carbs, new plugs, still not right. Finally drained the gas and put in fresh fuel and it runs fine. What garbage fuel. For the price we are paying that stuff ought to last a lifetime in a can!
