You would want to use methanol, not ethanol. It's not a simple jet change to do this conversion either. Alcohol will dry rot all the rubber components in the...

It can be done. When you log on as an admin, you have to click on the management tab and change the setting so all posts have to be approved before they will...
Thanks Ken, Just what I did (found that after sendng my post ...) . The so-called " mabwar37" is banned. Still to be followed ... ;o)) Noël ... De : Ken...
... Wouldn't it be easiest to require the mod to allow membership and then member's only posting? Only a tiny more work likely, since I doubt spammers will go...
I've found that all the yahoo groups I belong to (3 or so) have been overrun with spam lately. One of them, for the mighty CB400F, was having a substantial...
Hi Chris, That's already what has been done. The newcomers have to be approved as members by the mod(s) before they are allowed to post. And I recently added a...
Hi Jeff and all, I also belong to 4 Yahoo groups, and some spammers came on most of them. There are two of those spammers, that I rejected from our group, who...

Hello Nadia, Do you know if this is a "California" bike or 48 states? The "Cali" bikes have extra "smog" stuff on them not present on the 48 bikes. I'm not...
Hi, All This has happened a couple of times. When I hit reserve, the bike will start acting funny, hinting that it's running out of fuel. I switch to reserve...
Here's another one. I've noticed that I get oily residue building up in my air box. It's not an inordinate amount, but it is noticeable and does eventually ...
Sounds like either your fuel pump is not working or you have a clogged screen on your petcock or other such issue. Is it an 86'?(that would negate the pump...
Jeff, Probably the fuel pickup tube screen that is mounted on the top of the petcock. Probably has some gunk blocking the flow. Drain the fuel and pull the...
Jeff, There is a crankcase breather hose that comes out of the right rear corner of the upper block. This hose should feed into a "storage tank"(under seat),...
... I'd agree, as that's what happens to me OFTEN. My cause is more than likely tank rust particles gathering up at the bottom. *I* however have to often blow...
Thanks, everyone, for the replies. As I recall, removing the petcock requires some drilling and riveting/bolting upon re-assembly, correct? Any tips on this...
Hi Jeff, If by "removing the petcock" you mean removing it from the fuel tank, don't worry. It's just an "unbolting" job. Record the in and out lines (a good...

Hello Patrick, I tested the vacuum hose from the Cyl#1 to the tank, alas no success. There was significant amount of fuel coming out from the valve when the...
Hi Nadia, I think the ones that are plain T shaped are the float bowl vents. One for each carb pair. If everything works properly you shouldn't have anything...
Nadia, When you say "I tested the vacuum hose from the Cyl#1 to the tank, alas no success." what does this mean? If you apply vacuum to the hose (on the "head"...
I finished up the carbs and went to install them this morning. I thought it would be a huge problem but it was very easy. Have a look at these two gallery pics...

Here's a few quick and easy mods. I recently installed a K&N air filter and a K&N DynoJet jet kit. It was pretty easy to install and I could really feel the...
The tie down straps aren't a bad idea. For those us with extra mass this is one of those few times where it comes in handy. I usually just press one hand...
... Good idea Steve. Another tip: I re & re a lot of carbs on hard old mounts at work and one tool I would not want to do without is the Snap On rad hose tool....
