    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.

    Free random parts!

    Might be too late now, but PM sent regarding the parts. Glad to find another MG fan! My grandfather taught me stick in his '73 B. He ended up giving it to me before I graduated highschool - it needs a lot of work, but I've been dreaming of restoring it for years and I think the project is...

    Free random parts!

    I'll be passing through the area on my way to potentially pick up a body shell for my MGB this Sunday. I plan to take 294 -> 290 -> 90 - would that be near your neck of the woods?

    Pic of the week game

    A plea from a neglected airbox... Crushed like floral foam when I was bringing the bike back to life.

    FYI - Single Caliper MC Rebuild Kit

    Hi all, Just wanted to add some info to the database. I have a '79 GS750 with the single caliper up front, which came with a Nissin front master cylinder. Finding a rebuild kit has been difficult, and everything points to a piston that's too long and of a different design than original. My...

    what did you wrench on today??

    I tightened several loose head bolts on my bike, but approached it slightly differently - going in the order numbered in the manual, I checked each one - if it was under torque spec, I loosened it slightly, then torqued it to spec. if it didn't budge, I left it alone. Within 1,000 miles, I...

    what did you wrench on today??

    Working through the 15k service on my GS750 - starting with the front end: steering bearings (original), wheel bearings (original), and brake system up front (aside from pads, original :nightmare:) Found considerable pitting on the caliper piston - was sweating for a bit trying to find a new...

    Sounds like a blast - count me in! ​​​​​​ This'd be my first time attending this event. Is there anything specific I should bring or plan for? ​​​​​ ​​

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Might be fun to venture further north as the days get longer and the weather starts to warm - every day's getting longer now! I'll be sure to reach out if the opportunity arises. I'm not sure if there are others in my area: admittedly I've stayed mostly on the technical side of the forum as...

    Rode out to the Indiana shores of Lake Michigan a couple of times recently as well - beautiful, especially in the winter!

    Cruzin' Image Intake Boots - Are They Holding Up?

    Hi Brian, I'm eyeing some cruzin image boots for my '79 GS750. How are yours fairing? Thanks!

    VM Pilot Air Screw Insensitivity

    I've been working through my bike over (our) colder months, and have circled back to the carbs. I managed to forget about this thread, but wanted to thank you for this detailed explanation - reading through it again, it really helps to make sense of it all. I'd like to pick up a colortune, I'm...

    VM Pilot Air Screw Insensitivity

    Hi all, I've got a '79 GS750(N) with stock everything and stock VM26SS carbs (15 pilot, 102.5 mains, middle notch on needle). I've done valve clearances, all intake sealing (air box, boots, o-rings), ignition timing, full carb clean & reassembly with new o-rings, fuel level, etc. I balanced the...

    VM Pilot Fuel Screws - Best Notch Setting

    Thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll be pulling the carbs, or at least the air box, to get to them & adjust - tried adjusting by shoving my hand in there with a flathead bit and I can't reliably tell how many turns out from seated I'm at. Oh well, that's what I get for overthinking it lol
