Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Carb sync issues
Good evening.......I am having nothing but grief today trying to sync my carbs.......I have the ergo type gauge.......the 4th gauge crapped out.....no problem.....I’ll do 1-2, then 3-4 , then 1-4,,,,i was having a huge vacuum pull from carb 1 just making the gauge go crazy. Anyway after much time and many settings I thought I was good. Went in for dinner, the bike cooled off nd now it won’t start? What have I done........did I lean it out to much. Is there a factory number of turns on the adjusters I can make to get started again. Please help, thanks!

Re: Carb sync issues
And if you can't reach him , please tell me you wrote down 1234 and how many turns ( cw or ccw ) you turned each screw and put them back from where you started and re-do . ( It may not have run well - but it ran ) Starting with the highest vacumm reading , lower that one to its mate , and note again how far you have turned the screw and its cw/cww direction you went...you may need to tweek the idle screw a bit, from time to time--. Don't do anything without documenting what you do.....You want to always get back to where you started,, until you get the hang of it----- on 4 carbs at once.Scott-(Altoona, PA) wrote:If you can, give Carl Leo a call.
Do have a nice large fan on , in front of the bike if you feel that your not that quick at getting to the adjustment screw, and to avoid overheating ....Most well maintained / sync -ed set, you will find you never need more than a 1/4 turn at most. Where the heck are they going to go. at some point they were in sync- and they don't turn on their own.
Maybe there is something else going on here also.. Did you just buy this bike or it at some point was a well running machine you rode on?
Keep us posted on you trials and give us MORE DETAIL... we like detail as we are not there to see/touch/listen/ and smell.
