Guten Tag liebes Forum

former "German" introduction deleted and replaced

modbee, Gunter

I am an elderly (>60) sportster-pilot with > 30 yrs on the same bike.

Slowly, retired, forum-newbee, a bit lost on IN related subjects, so pls excuse

to make long story short:

I did not bike a lot this year because I am stuck with a technical carburator issue (I guess so).

I would not even know under which header "in this forum" I am supposed to post my question ...
... and how to do so.

So, anybody pointing me to the right direction or constructive critics always welcome

best regards
Gunter

Hi Gunter,

In Deutschland gibt es das http://sportyforum.de/ und https://forum.milwaukee-vtwin.de/index.php .

The carburetor issue can be discussed in the General section for your model or the carburetor-specific section (each link below). Start a new thread in either section and give it a name specific to your problem.

http://xlforum.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=270
http://xlforum.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=34

You can read about your carburetor & other parts in the Sportsterpedia:
http://sportsterpedia.com/doku.php/techtalk:evo:carb01


This is THE BEST Sportster Resource!

Take a minute and please put at least your state/country in the LOCATION FIELD of your profile so we can better help you when you need it - Your climate, temps & altitude can make a difference to suggested fixes... (the STATE FIELD does not show on posts so you need to use the LOCATION FIELD)...

CLICK HERE - then scroll down to 'Additional Information' and look for the field labeled 'LOCATION' - put your information in there - It will then show on each post you make... Look for this:


Post a PICTURE of your ride - whether building, modding or totally stock... Host the image on a photo website (but not photobucket.com), get the link with the "[IMG][/IMG] tags" included & paste that directly into your posting (If you don't have the "[IMG][/IMG] tags" included, then use the Image Insert icon along with the web address of the image)...

There are various sections to the XLForum - You can pick a section that is related to your problem/info, open that section and read the sticky threads on the first page - Then post your comment in an existing thread or create a new one to get information for your specific question... For new threads, make the title specific to your problem or info...

This is the index of sections: http://xlforum.net/forums/index.php
Be sure to read some/many of the FAQ/HowTo threads (including how-to post pictures) here:
http://xlforum.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=16

The XLForum Sportsterpedia has a lot of technical info to review:
http://sportsterpedia.com
