LOGIN ISSUES
Because I've presently got technical incompetences with the board, password resets presently do not work automatic like.
SECURITY WHATNOW?

I should get the message within a few hours, but under rare circumstances, it might take me a day.

Some people use regular browsing mode, but may have chosen to disable all cookies in their settings. Sometimes, these people will end up tearing their hair out because a lot of websites just don't work at all, like many online stores, as many e-commerce platforms don't do bugger all without using cookies.
Me, I've got "Self-Destructing Cookies" plugins in my various browsers. Which lets me accept all cookies everywhere, smug in the knowledge that they will be deleted the instant I close that browser tab. I can even set it to delete the cookies only when I close the whole browser window, which is helpful with online stores.
And I can whitelist sites like the board, so the plugin doesn't mess with those cookies at all.
And you must use the same browser, on the same machine. Unless you're using something like a cookie manager that syncs to all your devices and things, your apple browser on your ipad won't have the delicious cookies chrome has on your PC. And unless google now manages cookies between your devices (who knows what the fuck they do), even chrome on your Android won't have the same cookies as chrome on your notebook, or chrome on your other Android.

If you've visited the forum at any time after November 18, 2020, you will have seen the message about a supposed data breach that may have exposed passwords. I know you will have seen it because, until today, there was a big general announcement right at the top of the everything.
Seeing how it's been nearly 18 months since that, with no further alarms getting rung, and how everyone has had 758,214 opportunities to take a minute to think about the security of their passwords, I've taken that notice down.
Follow this link for all the info that has transpired about the whole mess.

The other potential project didn't work out. A couple of weeks later this thing kind of dropped into my lap to fill the void. 1973 CT3 175. Came with a title to boot, so it has the potential to be plated.

Re: The other thing didn't work out, so I got this new thing
Finally started to dive into it to get an idea of where it is. Getting spark. Compression test looks good @ 120. Cleaned the carb. Working on starting it yesterday when it started kicking back kind of hard. I was thinking the 2 stroke oil I poured into the cylinder brought it up a little.
Another thing that needs immediate attention. The oil pump had been removed for some reason, the person I got the bike from never got into it far enough and didn't know why it wound up that way, for the time being I'm going to run pre-mix. Plans are to use autolube system again at some point. At the moment the oil pump shaft is just sitting there with no bolts holding it in place. I'm going to fashion a block off plate and gasket before I go any further.
Upside...it's an air-cooled, 2-stroke, single. It's relatively easy to work on. Yeah, my thumb got in the way.
Edit; I started poking around and found that the right side cover will have to off in order remove the oil pump shaft. This crusty old screw is going to have to come out as part of the process, some of the others look iffy as far as the heads. Regardless, I'll be better off getting replacements. Probably going to be one of those keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best situations.

Re: The other thing didn't work out, so I got this new thing
A hand impact driver will be your best friend here. Those screws are notoriously soft and the heads will give way very easily. The good news is by removing the right side cover you can go ahead and replace the clutch, which you should be able to find replacements for the fiber plats fairly easily and just clean/scour the steel plates.
And yes, absolutely replace the oil pump as it does more than just mix with the gas in the combustion chamber. If you can find a oil system diagram from a service manual, you will note that it also oils the crank bearings. People always thought they could delete them and just premix like the old 60's two strokes but the Japanese manufacturers engineered these pumps to do more.

It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

Re: The other thing didn't work out, so I got this new thing
I used a hand impact wrench on it. They came right out, was relieved none of them broke or rounded off. Once I got the cover off, I pulled the oil pump gear and fashioned a block off plate and a gasket for it. I didn't want to pay or wait for a pre-made kit to get here. All I have to to is slap the new gasket on it, throw some oil in it and try to start it. Running pre-mix I know I'm going to have to re-jet, but I need to get it to run for more than 2 or 3 seconds and then move forward.
