    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.

Here's a quickie question: just cleaned and rebuilt my carbs, now ready to try out these new toys. Which one do I do first? sorry if this is a pretty rookie question

thanks!
 
you got it right...

Adjust using the colortune, then sync, then check the mixture again, then check the sync again.

You can leave the Carbtune hooked up while you play with the Colortune...
 
Just a note: If you plan on playing for long, tuning mix and sync, keep a fan (or two) going over the head/front of the motor to keep the bike from overheating. Less likely to do it this time of year, since, at least around here, temps are still in the mid to low 50s most days, but just a precautionary measure at least.
 
Ya, I bouced back and forth between the 2 when I set up my carbs after the pods and jet kit. By the 3rd time everything was exactly right and nothing changed.
 
Don't forget to pull your plugs and check for the correct color, carb tune is great i used it, but the plug color tells the real story to confirm how close the colortune gets you.

Adjust your screws to the correct amount of turns out just to get it to start.

Vac sync first then adjust your scres for proper mix otherwise it will start rougher and run rougher until you get the correct amount of air balanced .

Then adjust your screws again as has been said.
 
Colourtune gets you in the ballpark. I was still lean and had to richen out the idle.
