Hi, Brand new.  I can't seem to get any results using the search box for forum posts.

There have been issues with the search feature over the last year.  Try going to google and searching something like "SOHC/4 Owner Club Forums CB350f"

Ha ha, how did you come up with the handle "Poofdog" mate? Over here in Oz, a "Poof" (or "Poofter") is a derogatory term for a gay man (not that there's anything wrong with that.....) and a "Poofdog" would be a poodle, or a Cavoodle, or one of those other yappy 4 legged toilet seat covers....... ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

True, SEARCH isn't working within the forum. However, if you Google using this syntax, then your results will be limited to this forum:

350f carb cleaning : forums.sohc4.net

The space after your search term followed by the COLON specifies the "domain" you want searched. Typing that returned this:
https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=350f+carb+cleaning+:+forums.sohc4.net&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
