Establishment Registration & Process Filing for Acidified and Low-Acid Canned Foods (LACF): Paper Submission Instructions Part IV (Process Filing for Aseptic Packaging Systems (Form FDA 2541C))
Back to Paper Submissions Main Page
Process Filing for Aseptic Packaging Systems (Form FDA 2541C)
NOTE: Required Supplemental Information (Sub SID)
Use Form FDA 2541c for filing processes for aseptic packaging systems only for LACF products under 21 CFR 108.35. Use Form FDA 2541a for all other processing methods, including acidified products filed under 21 CFR 108.25. For acidified LACF products packaged by aseptic packaging systems, the factor which provides the public health protection (heat or acidification) determines which form is to be used (i.e., for a product acidified to a maximum equilibrium pH #4.6, use Form FDA 2541a.
Complete each required block on the form in English according to the following instructions. Unless otherwise indicated, all blocks on the form must be completed, regardless of whether this is a new submission or a replacement for a previously submitted one. The paragraph numbers below correspond to the numbered blocks on the sample form on page 15. See pages 7-8 in Section I of the main instruction booklet for a complete explanation of the submission identified (SID).
Enter the 5-digit Food Canning Establishment (FCE) number assigned to your establishment by the FDA when you registered (on Form FDA 2541). If registering concurrently with initial process filing, leave blank (FDA will complete). Upon receipt of your FCE number from FDA, record it on your copies of the process filing forms.
Establishment Name and Location Address
Enter the name of your plant and the plant location address corresponding to the FCE Number entered in 1. This is used by FDA as a check of the FCE number and may not be used to change the name or address. Name and address changes must be submitted on an Establishment Registration form (FDA 2541).
An address change resulting from a move to a different location (as opposed to a street name change, etc.) requires re-registration, assignment of a new FCE number, and re-filing of all scheduled processes. The old FCE number is not valid and its use will not be accepted by FDA.
U.S. Firms:
Enter the two-letter abbreviation for your state or territory; leave "country" block blank.
Foreign Firms:
For "state", enter the name or abbreviation of the province or other subdivision of your country (if applicable). Otherwise, leave blank.
For "ZIP Code", enter the postal code established by the postal system of your country, if one has been established. Otherwise, leave blank.
Enter the name of the country in which your establishment is located.
Submission Identifier (SID)
Assign a unique SID to each process filing form, in the format YY-MM-DD/SSS based on when you are submitting the form, where:
- YY the last two digits of the year (e.g., 99, 01, 02, etc.)
- MM is the numerical designation of the month (e.g., 05 for May, 10 for October etc.)
- DD is the day of the month (e.g., 03, 28, etc.)
SSS is a unique sequence number within the date (e.g., 001, 002, etc.)
New, Replacement, or Cancellation
If this is a new submission of a process for a low-acid canned food product (no previous processes filed for this product in the container sizes listed), check "new" and complete the remaining blocks.
If this is a replacement for a previously submitted process filing form, check "replaces", followed by the SID of the MOST RECENT SUBMISSION WHICH IS BEING REPLACED and complete the remaining blocks.
If this is a cancellation of a previously submitted process filing form which is not being replaced by another, check "cancels", followed by the SID of the previous submission which is being canceled. To help ensure that the correct process is being canceled, enter the food product name as instructed in 7 on the next page. Sign and date the form as instructed in 22 and submit it to FDA.
As an alternative, you may photocopy the form to be canceled. Assign a new SID in 3 (lining out the original one without making it unreadable), and check "cancels" in 4 followed by the SID being canceled. Sign and date the photocopy below the original signature and date and submit it to FDA. Computer printed forms may be submitted as long as these reproductions closely emulate FDA's 2541c.
Scheduled or Alternate
Check "scheduled" if this is the ordinarily used process for this product under normal conditions.
If this is a process used regularly in lieu of the ordinarily used (scheduled) process (which is filed separately), check "alternate for" and enter the SID of the scheduled process for which this is an alternate.
NOTE: Alternate processes should be reported ONLY WHEN THEY ARE USED REGULARLY. Otherwise, they need not be filed.
If you are replacing a scheduled process for which you have filed alternate processes, FDA will assume that the alternate processes apply to the replacement scheduled process as filed. If the alternate processes do not apply to the replacement, they should be replaced or canceled by separate submissions.
Additional Container Sizes
Additional container sizes for a previously submitted food product must be reported separately as a NEW or REPLACEMENT SUBMISSION, even if all other information is the same.
Deletion of Containers Size(s)
Submit a "REPLACEMENT" for the originally filed form as instructed above, leaving off the container sizes that are no longer applicable. You may reproduce the original form, if desired, entering the additionally required information for a replacement form as indicated above, lining out the inapplicable container size(s), and signing and dating the form (below the original signature). Assign a unique new SID to the REPLACEMENT form clearly indicate the previous submission being replaced by entering its SID in 4.
Forms Returned by FDA for Missing Data
When resubmitting a form which had been returned by FDA for missing data, enter the missing data directly on the returned form (unless otherwise instructed) and send it to FDA. DO NOT CHANGE TYPE OF SUBMISSION OR THE SID. Be sure to enter the missing data on your file copy of the form.
If it is necessary to complete a new form to furnish the missing data, complete blocks 1 through 6 exactly as originally submitted. Complete all other blocks, entering ALL information specified below. Attach the form which had been returned and mail them both to FDA.
Enter the SID of the supplemental information which applies to this process filing form (see "REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION" on page 11). For example: SUP SID: 01-04-22/015
Food Product Name, Form or Style, and Packing Medium
Enter the food product name, form or style, and packing medium, in that order, e.g., whole milk; butterscotch pudding; split pea soup (condensed); etc. A separate form must be used for each product form or style (strained, ready-to-eat, high fat, paste, dry ingredient, etc.) which receives a different scheduled process OR when the characteristics of the food affect heat transfer or affect microbial heat resistance.
Product forms or styles receiving the same scheduled process should be included parenthetically after the product name.
A separate form is not required for each different brand name of a product so long as the scheduled process for all brands is exactly the same.

Owner Ly Nguyen opened up Melon's Frozen Yogurt at the mall on Memorial Day, aiming to provide a healthier alternative to ice cream and other deserts.
"We try to promote a health conscious alternative with less fat, less sugar and probiotics," Nguyen said.
Probiotics help improve the body's digestive system, which is much-needed after eating several holiday dinners.
And at 45 cents an ounce, it's also an affordable treat.
The family owned shop competes against the chain stores, but that's nothing new to Nguyen, who married into the Bui family. The family opened up the MeKong Restaurants in Sandusky and Virginia.
While it's not an easy fight, Nguyen hopes the quality of the product will win out.
"We use Honey Hills, the most expensive yogurt in the market," Nguyen said. "We don't make hundreds of flavors, but every flavor is top-notch. We stress quality over quantity."
Any limitations on flavor doesn't necessarily mean limited options.
Melon Frozen Yogurt offers 40 different toppings, from the standard chocolate, strawberry mango and raspberry, as well as boba, a topping that pops in your mouth. There are also seasonal toppings, such as pumpkin pie and candy corn.
The shop is self-serve, so the final creation is limited only by a customer's imagination.
"Mix it up, have fun, make it your own," Nguyen said.
Melon Frozen Yogurt
What: Self-serve frozen yogurt shop
Where: Sandusky Mall, by Ruby Tuesday
Phone: 419-621-7589
Hours: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday

John March, Southerner is not the novel that normally comes up in a discussion of George Washington Cable. By the time the book was published in 1895, Cable had become known through his work featuring antebellum New Orleans culture and his advocacy of civil rights for black Americans. After serving for the Confederate army during the Civil War, Cable took up writing in his native New Orleans. In 1879 he published Old Creole Days, a collection of short stories in the vein of regional and local color fiction that was popular in the decades after the war. Old Creole Days was quickly followed by The Grandissimes (1880), a strange, convoluted story set in early nineteenth-century New Orleans. Generally considered h…

Joe Maddon may be the loosest manager in the majors, but he has parlayed his laid back rules into a tightness with his youthful Tampa Bay Rays players. Who even knew the 59-year-old Maddon had the singer Pink on his playlist? Maddon tweeted his fellow transplanted Pennsylvanian regrets at not being able to make Pink's show while it makes a stop in Tampa but invited the singer to come by the Rays' camp and throw out the first pitch or at least take some batting practice while she was in town. Now we know why Maddon has no dress or hair code for his players — so he can have a similar coif as Pink. Going to miss @pink at the Times Forum 2nite but would love to have her throw out 1st pitch at tomorrow's game vs Tigers or take BP. — Joe Maddon (@RaysJoeMaddon) February 27, 2013

U.S. Gay Marriage Ban Spurs Protests
Tthousands of people in cities across the United States gathered Saturday to show support for same-sex marraige, giving voice to an issue many gay men and lesbians consider crucial for equality.
The New York Times reports rallies occurred in cities including San Francisco and Minneapolis only 11 days after California voters narrowly based a ballot revoking a previous law making same-sex ceremonies legal in the state.
Protestors across the country carried handmade signs with slogans like 'ÄúNo More Mr. Nice Gay'Ä? and 'ÄúStraights Against Hate.'Ä? In New York, some 4,000 people gathered at City Hall, where speakers repeatedly called same-sex marriage 'Äúthe greatest civil rights battle of our generation.'Ä? (New York Times)
'ÄúWe are not going to rest at night until every citizen in every state in this country can say, 'ÄòThis is the person I love,'Äô and take their hand in marriage,'Ä? Representative Anthony D. Weiner of Brooklyn told the New York Times.
More than 700 people gathered on the plaza of the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis on Saturday to protest constitutional amendments in California, Florida and Arizona prohibiting gay marriage, according to the Star Tribune.

O'Connell, R.E.; (2008) The meaning of home-based childcare in an era of quality: childminding in an inner London borough and the encounter with professionalisation. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
Full text not available from this repository.
Childminding is popularly characterised as childcare in a home-like environment. In the wake of the National Childcare Strategy, and with an emphasis on childcare 'quality', the state is increasingly constructing childminders as Early Years Professionals who happen to work in their own homes. This thesis is an attempt to explore registered childminders' negotiation of the meaning and practice of their work in the context of contemporary developments in childcare policy. It is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in an Inner London Borough (2003 - 2005). Methods employed ranged from participant observation, the collection of ephemera, interview and sorting exercises, to the improvisation of the raffle as a research technique. Following consideration of the social and historical context of childminding's popularity, the thesis explores some of the varied meanings that childminders bring to and gain from their work. Focussing on the spatial, social and temporal dimensions of the home environment it examines in ethnographic detail the qualities and negotiations that characterise childminders work betwixt and between 'private' and 'public' domains. Childminders' performance of professionalism is explored and some ways in which women negotiate tensions between internal beliefs and external demands in this context are considered. It is argued that in their encounter with the 'technology of quality' childminders are reproduced as deficient. Tradeoffs associated with childminders' engagement with the hegemonic model of professionalisation are shown to have continuities with broader feminist debates over equality/difference and care/justice. It is suggested that childminders' work is characterised by the negotiation of contradictions. Informed by and hoping to inform a focus in feminism on the empirical study of care work, the thesis also hopes to contribute toward a growing anthropology of public policy as well as to add childminders' perspectives to the burgeoning critical reappraisal of the hegemonic mode of professionalisation in the Early Years.

With ships damaged by ice, May cargo totals decline
CLEVELAND—With three of the largest U.S.-flag lakers out of service for a combined 65 days in May to repair damage suffered in the heavy ice in March and April, cargo movement in U.S. hulls fell nearly 5 percent compared to a year ago. Shipments totaled 9.6 million tons. Had the three 1,000-footers been in operation the whole month, they would have carried another 600,000 tons and the fleet would have registered a small increase over May 2013.
Iron ore cargos totaled 4.6 million tons, a decrease of 6 percent compared to a year ago. The vessels removed from service to undergo repairs are normally heavily engaged in the movement of iron ore.
Coal shipments in U.S.-flag lakers totaled 1.9 million tons in May, an increase of 4.3 percent. The largest gain came in loadings at Lake Erie ports – 41.7 percent. However, shipments out of Lake Michigan fell by nearly 50 percent.
Limestone cargos totaled 2.6 million tons, a decrease of 7.8 percent.
The fleet's year-to-date totals dramatically illustrate the impacts of the harshest winter in decades. Iron ore cargos are down by 31.3 percent. Coal trails last year by 18.8 percent. Limestone loadings are off by 22.3 percent.Previous Press Releases:

DENSO develops Li-ion battery pack for stop/start systems
4 October 2012
Global automotive supplier DENSO Corporation has developed a lithium-ion battery pack that further increases the fuel efficiency of vehicles equipped with stop/start systems. The new battery pack allows the stop/start system to use more regenerative power than current conventional systems that use a single lead-acid battery. DENSO's battery pack consists of a battery management unit and power supply control switch, as well as battery cells that are provided by a third-party source.
|Cutaway model of Lithium-ion battery pack. Click to enlarge.
The new battery pack is air-cooled and therefore does not require a dedicated battery cooling system. Because there is no need for auxiliary cooling components, this allows the battery to be lighter and more compact. This enables automakers more design flexibility, which is important for vehicles with limited space, DENSO notes.
The pack weighs 2.5 kg and is 200 × 178 × 70 mm (length × width × height).
DENSO has developed different types of starters to meet the specific needs of its customers for their stop/start systems, including the Advanced Engagement (AE) Starter; Permanently Engaged (PE) Starter; and Tandem Solenoid (TS) Starter. Also, DENSO developed a Cold Storage (CS) Evaporator which increases the effectiveness of idle-stop, particularly at high temperatures.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference DENSO develops Li-ion battery pack for stop/start systems:
My concern would be for cold weather performance, an area where AGM batteries perform better than most lithium chemistries.
would imagine that the ice WOULD KEEP THE LITHIUM warm enough with mild ducting.
Cold weather can normally be managed more easily than very hot weather. It will not take much energy to keep a well insulated small battery box above -20C. Nissan=Leaf as done it. Cooling it in down town traffic on a very hot day may be more of a problem.
They don;t say what them mean by "more regenerative power", but I assume they mean regenerative braking.
They don't say what the capacity of the battery is, maybe it is variable.
A stop/start system which could absorb braking energy would be very useful and would save a lot of power - not as much as a full hybrid, but better than a simple stop/start.
To significantly capture and use more braking energy requires larger or higher capacity starter/alternator and e-energy storage unit.
HEVs, PHEVs and BEVs are inherently more suited because they are equipped to store and use more captured energy.
What's the battery capacity? Price? Recyclable? Number of charge/discharge cycles before replacement?
Why bother with a battery article and no electrical specifications?
Unless it's secret, like having a President who hides his money from his county's taxes.

The idea that not just breast cancer, but many forms of cancer is tied to weight is not new. Weight in turn is tied to blood sugar and insulin level, and the cancer risk associated with these two is well documented. Yet we seem so surprised every time we hear it. – Was it never mentioned? Are we tone deaf? Do we care? Will knowing this change our behavior? That is, will we behave differently when we next eat? Do we know what or how to change?

Saturdays results continued...
OK, lets see if we can continue on a bit.
We arrived at the track pretty early Sat morning as I still had to sign up and go through tech inspection. The problem was I didn't sleep very well on Friday night. After viewing the track on Friday, I had my doubts!
Here is a photo looking over the edge of gravity cavity. It looks even more challenging in real life! How fast should a 50+ year old guy go up that thing?
I didn't eat well at breakfast and knew had some concerns about the day ahead. I remember looking at her across the table. Her lips were moving but as I was so preoccupied with what was coming, I really didn't hear anything she was saying (and I'm usually so attentive ).
Here are a few Sat morning photos (found on the net) capturing the riders meeting. You can see it was a very nice day. Temps were good too. And the track was in nice condition as it had rained on and off during the week.
And a couple more of gravity cavity,
With practice getting ready to start, I headed back to the unlock the bikes and unload them from the truck. And here is where I made a real a$$ of myself. It turned out that I had left the key to the lock back at the hotel, aahhrrr!
By the time I got the key and made it back to the track, practice was over! Another self inflicted wound!
Rather than letting this ruin my day, I decided that the promoters race would be my practice session. This sounds bad I know.
But it turned out that due to delays, the promoters race started very late with the sun very low in the sky.
In fact, the sun so blinding in some places that my speed was held down simply because I could see where I was going, even more so than not knowing the track I think.
And did I mention that I fell down ?
Ah well, lets have a look at the pictures anyway...
Here is #640 against the fence at Unadilla, it has come a long way from the start of this thread don't you think?
Next is the staging area where we are waiting to be called to the gate. This is also another good view of the pits. See the Paul Buckley flag at the left? Paul is famous for many classic MX photos you see in magazines and elsewhere. He even took a couple of me!
Here some Gran Prix rider wannabe heads to the gate, you can see how long the shadows are. And number 7 there on the Maico. We will see more of him in Sunday's race!
Not a great start, I am sitting in 7th into the 3rd turn.
And around we go!
Paul Buckley snapped this photo at end of lap one. I remember this, sun was blinding here, gas is totally off.
Into gravity cavity, I think I am about 5th now and will soon be falling down!
It was after the right hander in the distance that I crossed wheels in the deep ruts and dumped it.
Haha, in a moment of clarity, and as I scrambled to get off the track, I heard the announcer call my name "The fallen rider from Maryland is...".
But I was able to get up and get going again thus allowing Paul to get one more shot of me .
OK, so the results weren't great but I did get some track time. And it went a very long way in shaking off the jitters I was feeling! There was one concern however, I was feeling clutch slip again.
Next up is Sunday's AHRMA race. Now that's a story ...

Hi. Did you do more about jettings on the carburator? Have a 465 and have some small problems. Send all info about ignition and jettings. Thank you guys.
I finally got around to timing my 465G. On the bike's maiden voyage, the motor ran fine down low but once in the midrange or higher it rattled and clanked something awful. It also, required 20+ kicks to get fired up hot or cold. So I really didnt know if I had a jetting, timing or a possible vacuum leak problem. For those of you not familiar with timing this beast, its a bit different than most other bikes. Most bikes of that era had the timing set statically. Wouldn't you know it; starting with the 465's, Yamaha specifies that the timing be set dynamically (engine running, using a timing light and tachometer). Yamaha recommends 16 degrees BTDC at 2000 rpm. This requires using a 12V battery to power the timing light. The Yamaha timing marks are not like the big T and F found on the flywheel of Hondas. The marks are relatively small and likely covered with a little grime. Also, there are three areas where you will need to locate timing marks; the flywheel, the crankcase and the stator plate. I marked the flywheel and crankcase timing marks in red color so they would show up better. Big thanks to Kevin for his assistance in the location of the procedure of this whole mess. First, I set the static timing at factory specs (2.0mm BTDC) using a dial indicator. This required the partial removal of the engine as the frame interfered with my dial indictor. Of course you get to pull the flywheel each time you need to make an adjustment too. I had removed the stator plate for cleaning so I cant tell you what the original timing was set at but I believe it was too far retarded, which is as bad as having the timing too far advanced. Guess what? The bike started great, like 4th kick after sitting for a month.
Then, with the engine runnng, I checked for any seal/gasket leaks by spraying WD40 around the ignition side crank seal, base gasket, carb intake and reed gasket areas. A spray bottle of water works well here too. I didnt get any indication of a leak. Then I put the timing light on and had a look at the marks (kinda takes a knack the first time or two doing this); hmmm, not far off. I shut the bike down and restarted while it was hot and it started in three kicks. Adjusted the idle and the air screw and ended up advancing the timing just a wee bit more. Then I took the 465 out for a ride on a long steep uphill gravel road. Power was smooth on the bottom then started coming on hard at about 1/3 of the way through the RPM range. Im using a 3.5 slide in the carburetor that probably helps smooth the low-end power. Found a flat hard packed section and the front and came up easily in fourth gear (I didnt try fifth). The engine noise that I experienced on a MX track at Diamond Don's was gone. Plug was tan/brown. This is one of the cleanest running big bores Ive ever seen. Im running Maxima Castor 927 at 40:1; back in the day Yamaha recommended 20:1. So I think Im in the ballpark. There will be more adjusting & fine-tuning needed. For one thing Im not happy about its cold starting, as it seems to be a bit of a moving target. This could be my technique or a mechanical issue, for one I probably will bump my PJ from a 40 to a 45 but until I can get it out on a track for a more extended eval, I'm calling it good. [/QUOTE]

If you still have OE crank seals, reed petals, and main bearings fitted, it would be a very good idea to replace them with new parts, using viton rather than nitrile rubber crank seals as these will cope better with modern Efuels.
All properly set up open class MX bikes will start easier if you flood the carb slightly, by leaning bike over on its side till fuel flows out of the atmo hoses.
Not a great idea to use castor oil in any 2T motor, unless you are running alcohol fuel, as this will tend to gum up rings, as well as greatly increasing the need for exhaust system servicing.
Best possible oil for serious racers is Castrol XR77, which supersedes the earlier A747 is a genuine full synthetic (not diluted with solvents, like the dual purpose 2T oils), run at around 50-60:1.

Yes, lots of fun. I bought the jersey of Doug Childress whom advertised them on the vintagemx.us . Doug is known for building MX cone pipes.
He made a limited run of theses and other styles, not sure if he has any left but you should be able to find his contact info on that site.
I have a husky and CZ jersey from him to. They are all top notch vented jerseys like you would get in the '70's. He had a Belray Maico jersey that was really cool too but I didn't get that one.
If you go next year, drop by and say hi!

I see you found WFOPete's super ignition timing write up, great!
Here is jetting that works for me,
slide cutout =3.5 (hand filed)
main jet=380
Pilot jet=45
needle Jet=R0
jet needle= 6DH4 (middle clip)
DG pipe, stock porting
If you can't get it to idle check the pilot jet to see if it is gummed up.
If the idle hangs high then you may have an air leak. They can leak at the base gasket (my IT490 had this problem), the intake boot (cracks from age) and at the crank seals.
Good luck!

Unadilla - Sunday Moto 1
Ok, Saturday's ride was fun although my performance was not exactly stellar.
So I was more than a little determined to make a better showing of it on Sunday.
Still, I had some troubles.
We slept in an extra half hour Sun morning (us old people need our rest) thinking with practice starting so late on Sat we would have plenty of time for some extra shut eye. However, when we got to the track, practice was all ready going on!
So now I was in a real big hurry to get the gear on, pull the bike off the truck and get started. But, kick, kick , kick... no fire! It appeared the float had hung up as gas was leaking from the carb.
Time was running out and I didn't have a lot of options. But I did have that big blue It490 in the back of the truck. Off it came... I removed the headlight, speedo and tail light in order to get it through tech inspection. Thankfully it started right away. While I missed practice again (sheesh!), I was able to ride the bike in a nearby field. It ran good, solid clutch and good strong pull.
Who knows what they were thinking down at the staging area. There was some nice iron down there. Now who's this guy on the trail bike? Cross country was Friday, duh!
Anyway, it's not very often you have your own personal photographer at the races. So I'm going to use 's pictures to tell the story...
Here we are at the start, you can see a pair of Honda's that really flew out of the gate.
Into the 1st turn, we see Maico guy and the Honda's. Looks like I'm back there somewhere still waking up.
As we round about, I am following this Yamaha. This was as close as I would get to him. He (#77) would go on to win Moto 1.
As we complete turn 2, I seem to be around 6th and looking for an inside line.
Next is 1st time shooting out of gravity cavity. Maico guy in 1st, #77 in 2nd, #53 in 3rd and some trail rider in 4th.
And into the turn,
And around we go!
#77 and Maico guy would get away from me. But the next time through this corner I would pass #53 for 3rd place. Amazingly caught the pass...
I tried to run down Mr. Maico who had fallen back to second place. However, suspension was a little too soft and I almost got bucked off in a back section.
While suspension was a bit of a handicap, the 490's power was fine and dandy!
This is the 3rd and final time out of the cavity. You can see #53 just dropping in as I am landing on other side of the U. By this time says announcers are commenting about some enduro guy on the move! "Cant miss him, he's on that blue enduro bike".
From the position of my elbow, it looks like I need a quicker turn throttle!
And there's Maico rider, within view!
On the pegs through the turn
Ah, but 3rd would be best I could do as I close in on the flag. Truth is I was pretty tired and just hanging on at this point!
Next up I==> Moto 2!

It is obvious your YZ doesn't want to play.
1. Park the YZ
2. Put your YZ plastic and suspension on the IT.
3. Or leave the IT plastic in place and "Be the Faaaast Guy on the Enduro Bike"

I see you found WFOPete's super ignition timing write up, great!
Here is jetting that works for me,
slide cutout =3.5 (hand filed)
main jet=380
Pilot jet=45
needle Jet=R0
jet needle= 6DH4 (middle clip)
DG pipe, stock porting
If you can't get it to idle check the pilot jet to see if it is gummed up.
If the idle hangs high then you may have an air leak. They can leak at the base gasket (my IT490 had this problem), the intake boot (cracks from age) and at the crank seals.
Good luck!
To help out here are a couple of pics of what to look for when playing the timing game on the YZ465:
My old YZ456G model has been sitting since last November. I never even drained the fuel out of it (Bad Boy!!) so this morning I decided it was time to do that. While I was at it I pulled the carburetor pieces to verify the jetting I had used.
One thing that I did that I feel was a smart thing was to start out with a new carburetor with new brass. There is often a fair amount of wear and tear on these older carburetors and by starting off with a new one I eliminate that mystery aspect of tuning. I tossed the slide in favor of a new 3.5 version.
Then ordered a variety of needles, needle jets, main and pilot jets. I had a pretty good idea of what range of jets I wanted based off of seeing what others ran in their bikes. Anyway here is what I ended up with:
Slide: 3.5
Main Jet: 370
Needle: 6DH3
Needle Jet: 247-Q2
Pilot Jet: 50
Needle Clip: 2nd from bottom
Air Screw: 1.25 turns out
Oil/ratio: Maxima 927 Castrol @ 40:1
Elevation: 0-800ft AMSL (Height above mean sea level)
My 456 has always run pretty good down low (read crisp) and I like that. Strangely enough this was with a #50 pilot jet (most folks use a #40 or #45). Mid range jetting may be a little thick (rich) but not bad and top end is a touch toward the leaner side too but hey, how long are you going to be wide open on a YZ465 (and live to tell about it)?
I've always been happy with my plug readings. This plug has about 6 hours on it:
The spark plug is a NKG B8EG but I don't have a problem running a standard run of the mill NKG B8ES.
Now I don't pretend that I have the ultimate YZ465 jetting. I'm sure that it could be dialed in better, but the bike starts good, runs clean & has never fouled a plug. I credit the timing as much as the jetting. As far as I know the porting is stock.

Yeah, I know and not good given the subject of this thread!
I found my clutch slip issue was a result of using 465 springs with my 490 clutch assembly. The 490 pressure plate has a deeper well where the springs fit. The 490 springs are longer by the same about (~0.1" if memory serves).
My 465 springs were not compressed enough in the 490 pressure plate so eventually clutch slipped.
Here is a comparison,
I overlooked this when doing the clutch swap (oddly the part numbers are the same, maybe 465 number has been superseded?).
I put in Barnett heavy duty springs and have noticeably stiffer pull at the clutch lever and no slip now. Cant believe I missed this! Maybe I have that Adult ADD that's been going around.
My start problem was easy and self inflicted too. When playing around with jetting, I was swapping carbs back in the spring. One of them had a new float needle and seat while the other did not. Of course I got distracted by other things (like other old motorcycles ) and forgot which was in the bike. My carb overflow at Unadilla was from the carb with old seat assembly.
After putting in a new float needle assembly the bike started on 1st kick, cold with just choke on . Ran great up until the time I hurt my knee.
Speaking of which, the torn cartilage in my knee shifted back into position. All it took was a snap, crackle, pop and temporary lightening bolt of pain !
So after 1 week + on crutches, I can walk again. I am getting orthoscopic work on Monday. Wont fix all my problems but will get me going again I hope, torn ACL will not be repaired for now.
In the mean time I'm looking into knee braces. There seems to be a lot of choices out there.
Thanks for adding your jetting info!
And MRI for your shoulder tomorrow, right? Good luck with that!

MRI results are in:
1. Nearly complete tear of the supraspinatus.
2. Dislocated bicep tendon.
3. Tiny Peripheral cyst (where, what I don't know).
I understand that 1 and 2 often go hand in hand.
Dang Kevin, I was going to suggest we try to make Unadilla next year and race in the same class. But between our bikes and our bodies all we may able to do is play spectator.
Don't know if you have this but here is PDF FILE it has the stock carb jetting and list optional jets for your bike.
here is the main page also with lots of other yz and mx info

I loved this thread in the build process, now its even better that you're racing and getting results
I really like the indepth engineering stuff swapping between the 490 and 465 to get the ultimate bike.
I only owed the 490 in my youth so never got to ride the sweeter handling 465, its great to see you swapping between bikes during the races.
I remember racing my mates around the local tracks back when i was 15 or 16 with this bad ass firebreathing yam, there's nothing more entertaining than a small fast bike in the corners and a big fast bike on the straights.. it's the basis of all epic motor races.
I remember mum bought me a book called Yamaha Dirtbikes for xmas around that time the author was Colin Mackeller, an absolute must read for any fans of that era.
keep up the good work and ride safe.

Eight facts from the Williams launch
Here's what we learned at the cocktail-fueled unveil of Grove's gorgeous new F1 car
Posted: 07 Mar 2014
4. This year's testing times might be more representative of race pace than in previous years.
"Teams will always look for ways to mask outright performance.," says Symonds. "In the past that's meant putting in as much as 30kg of extra fuel. This year I think it's more likely that if teams were running heavier than needed in long runs it was no more the 20kgs of fuel. That's about 0.6secs around Bahrain."

poet, rapper and regular collaborator with Reading's dan le sac, Scroobius Pip is bringing his first spoken word tour to town this week.
With his penchant for tackling the grittier side of life in his hiphop- and punk-influenced verses, and a slightly self-depreciating manner that belies his passionate and witty onstage delivery, Pip is stopping in at venues (including Sub89) that are more often frequented by guitar bands and DJs, with the aim of bringing performance poetry to a different audience.
"Rather than doing it in theatres and dark coffee shops, when I was booking this tour I wanted to do it in proper venues, in places I have played with my band, which had moshpits and crowd surfing, to show that spoken word does not have to be in dingy coffee shops with people sitting quietly and stroking their beards," Pip explained. "It's a proper gig - the set is an hour long, the support acts have half hour sets."
Support comes from Kate Tempest of hiphop band Sound Of Rum, and off-the-wall comedian Brian Gittins, and Pip was enthusiastic about the chance to share a couple of his favourite artists with fans.
"I have toured with Sound Of Rum, and Kate Tempest is one of the best in the spoken word scene. I love the fact that there's going to be people who have never heard spoken word before and the first thing they are going to have is Kate Tempest, because she's amazing, she's at the top of her game.
"And I'm almost even more excited about Brian Gittins, because he's a comedian. I want to show that spoken word can have light heartedness and have seriousness. He's very odd but every time I have seen him he's stolen the show."
Pip got into spoken word because, as he explained, it was one of the only outlets on offer to him, growing up in small-town Essex. "I got into it through necessity. I was in a few bands and I live in a small town in Essex and there were no producers or anything like that and I started doing spoken word because I was able to do it off my own back.
"In general I'm writing all the time, I will always be writing notes and lyric ideas on my phone and when I'm able to I will sit down and turn them into a full thing. I have not had too many situations where I have had to force myself to write."
Such small beginnings have taken him a long way, to producing a Top 40 album of verse set to beats (Distraction Pieces), curating his own stages at Bestival and Camp Bestival, producing his own book of illustrated verse, Poetry In (E)Motion, and even playing Wembley Arena, when he and le sac supported Frank Turner earlier this year. But, in the end, it all comes down to
the words.
"I'm excited to get back to that because I started off in the spoken word scene and came up that way. It was not until I did a spoken word set a Latitude last year and 4,000 people turned out and were paying attention, that I thought that I had not done that in a while." said Pip. "Bestival was crazy rammed out, but even with Bestival and Camp Bestival , in my head it's more about the other poets, getting other poets out there and getting them heard. I have seen it over the years at the festivals, the crowds build and build and build and there's numerous nights in London - none of which I am I any way involved in - like Bang Said The Gun and Homework. That's great, that they are absolutely rammed; particularly if people are turning out just for spoken word, and not for a particular poet."
Scroobius Pip is at Reading's Sub89 on Tuesday, at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £10 from www.sub89.com

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a tool that helps analyze the system of how a product or service is delivered, from inception to the end user, and provides insights for designing a better, more efficient system. VSM allows your Team to visualize and socialize areas of efficiency and inefficiency across the whole process. The Team can then quickly identify and prioritize the most valuable improvements to customer visible value, while reducing cost and complexity.
Rooted in Henry Ford's assembly line, and used extensively at Toyota, VSM is applicable far beyond manufacturing. In this online course, Scrum Inc.'s Joe Justice, gives concrete examples of how VSM is used to analyze products and services creation.

Nir just finished coding his new module, simple read-only entrance page that renders grid of products with its name underneath, each name links to the relevant product page.This feature was deployed a week later. After deploying to production we find out a new bug that wasn't discover during QA phase.Our team has 5 developers which each of them committed at least one feature for this release. After cursing and blaming I scanned the latest release notes to find the possible features we just deployed I've found out that the bug should be part of Nir's implementation. of course that Nir already started his next feature and need to have an expensive context-switch to resolve this issue. Additional overhead which can't be avoided in order to understand whether we need to deploy the hotfix right away or we can wait for the next version, not talking about synching between other bug-fixes.
Sounds familiar? Do you release versions too? Try thinking of releasing features.Think about it, release the feature when it is DONE. don't wait for others.
Releasing all features in one planned ahead release, check feature #5 – that will need to be queued till the next release\train
Releasing a feature when it is done. feature #5 will be released when it is ready – no need to wait for the next train
So, Putting the technical details aside and the context switch we already explained, try to think about your product managers – they're going to love you.
Read more about ideas-code-data
In Delver we started our journey to continuously deploy to production. Read more here.
Meet Nir Altmark, a good friend of mine and a teammate at Delver he is a gifted developer who knows how to get things Done.Nir just published two new posts about releasing faster and Building confidence between QA and Dev – well written. Read them to have a better understanding about this process.
This is my second post about AppHarbor, I suggest you to read my first impression.
I am reading a lot about continuous deployment lately and AppHarbor provide great implementation for simple web applications deployment.
Code and publish is so easy, this is by far this better than using FTP for such things and the option to run tests makes it even more fun.
The option to rollback to previous commit\version is trivial but so important. Moreover, by clicking on "show" you can check the build log and see the tests-run.
You can click the tests link to read more about each test
Tip - UrlParameter does not exist:
When first trying to deploy my code it failed during compilation. I got this output: Global.asax.cs(18,67): error CS0103: The name 'UrlParameter' does not exist in the current context
I am not sure why, it could be that I am using early beta (didn't update for a long time), anyhow I fixed this by changing the global.asax.cs from using UrlParamters.Optional to "". You can read more here: http://haacked.com/archive/2010/02/12/asp-net-mvc-2-optional-url-parameters.aspx
Everyone knows Google app engine But what about .net apps? Meet AppHarbor (Thanks Gadi)
So I wanted to give it a chance and after playing for less than an hour:
Short tutorial on how to do it:
Till here everything should work but I had a small issue, got this error: error setting certificate verify locations:I've found out that it is all about versions (git --version) - So check yours and upgrade if needed
Here you can find great cheat sheet for Git commands: http://ionrails.com/2009/08/07/git-commands-adding-and-committing-cheatsheet/
Btw, AppHarbor support Databases and Running unit-testing after successful builds – I will post about those features later on.
Lately my "find usages" (shift+F12) stopped working.
I tried to restore ReSharper again and again but it fails (ReSharper –> find usages –> General –> restore ReSharper)
I've found out that some other shortcuts still working (for example: find usages advanced, CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+F12)
Then I checked the visual studio binding (Tools->Options->Keyboard) and find out that ReSharper.Find binding is missing.I thought about fixing this manually – but god knows what also is not working.
And then I found out the magical button called RESET -> clicking on this and running the restore ReSharper again solve this issue!
Following Oren's post I thought it would be great to post my feedburner too.
subscribe to my new feed - http://feeds.feedburner.com/human-debuggerI also changed the Rss-Icons to point to the new feed – so feel free to click them
Finally I've found some time to customize my blog with tiny change:
FB:Like Plugin – Whenever you LIKE it – let me know. This will be shared with your friends and help me spread my ideas.
Tip #1 - FB:Like PluginIf you are using dasblog and you want to add this to your theme use the PermaLinkUrl macro - href="<%PermalinkUrl%>"
Tip #2 – measure using FB insightsYou can track the trends here http://www.facebook.com/insights BUT in order to see it you should add meta-tag your head <meta property="fb:admins" content="user_id" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="user_id" />

We also opened our Blog where we will post about new features, technology and other cool stuff.
After we understand what video stream is all about and we wrote our first piece of SWFObject in Javascript. let's try to have this working on our servers, of course that such things tend to fail. But let's understand why…
First thing we need to understand is whether such failures occur due to my code, file format or server configuration. let's have a simple check trying to access the file directly using our browser.
configure your IIS to serve the following files: swf and mp4 using Static Content
<add name="FlashFiles" path="*.swf" verb="*" modules="StaticFileModule" scriptProcessor="" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Script" />
<add name="VideoFiles" path="*.mp4" verb="*" modules="StaticFileModule" scriptProcessor="" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Script" />
Setting handler(s) won't be good enough, requesting the server again will return "404.3 – mime type missing".Don't worry Adding new mime type to IIS 7 - is easy:
<mimeMap fileExtension=".mp4" mimeType="video/mp4" />
While installing the static content on our static servers (apache) – we've found out that requesting the files from firefox return with "no content length" and "incorrect mime type"adding the correct mime type to the /etc/mime.type
video/mp4 mp4
Check the Request\Response we've found out that our servers are still returning compressed response , googling it find out that Firefox cann't handle gzipped video stream,compression was selectively disabled by adding the following line to /etc/httpd/conf.d/static.d/static.conf:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|mp4)$ no-gzip dont-vary
Apache solution provided by Tomer G.
You can read here my introduction about video streaming.
In order to embed rich media content into web pages and have our code compatible with different browsers we will use the SWFObject 2.2.The SWFObject will render the right tags for the right browsers.
Here is a short, unobtrusive JS for showing your movie:
1: $(function() {
2: var videoBase = 'http://static-server/';
4: $('.VideoTeaserArea').click(function() {
5: $(this).openLightBox("

");
6: playMovie('intro-movie.swf');
7: });
9: function playMovie(videoFile) {
10: var videoUrl = videoBase + videoFile;
11: var att = { data: videoUrl, width: "640", height: "378", allowfullscreen:true};
12: var params = { flashvars: "autostart=true"};
13: var id = "media";
14: var myObject = swfobject.createSWF(att, params, id);
15: }
16: });
in order to have this code running we must add script tag:
Now, after having embedding SWF to our site - Let's understand how to make this work on IIS and Apache.
So our mission is to have our website play a short intro movie.
Wiki Definition
"Progressive download is a term used to describe the transfer of digital media files from a server to a client, typically using the HTTP protocol when initiated from a computer. The consumer may begin playback of the media before the download is complete. The key difference between streaming media and progressive download is in how the digital media data is received and stored by the end user device that is accessing the digital media."
Actually the "progressive download" feature implemented in most media players allows them to begin playing the file as soon as enough data received.
File formats: SWF VS. FLV
After this short explanation, we are ready to start:
In the next posts we will talk about steps 3 and 4.
For now you can keep reading about step 1 - here
Area 51 – GIS is a new place supported by the Stack Overflow to post your Qusetions and Answers about Geographic information systems. Part of the questions are talking about interesting issues like: Databases comparisons, Algorithms, New tools, GeoTagging, GeoJson, Kml, Map Caching layers etc.
Public beta will begin in 5 days.
Finally, after a long time I find time to upgrade my blog to the newly 2.3 version.
I had many problems installing this version Go-daddy, Monorail and SecurityException.The last one was also the funny one, after Google-ing a little bit, I found this post by Gabel one of my co-workers.
What's new?
So first I created my self a new homepage which you can see here.Second, you can track my reading-list, my twitter statuses and my projects (will be published later).
Test methods must be written as production code.While writing your tests you must act the same methods you write for your production code which means:
This is a code you will probably find in your test projects
1: [Test]
2: public void GetCommentsByQuery_LookFormHmmmText_FindAtLeaseOne()
3: {
4: SvnLogParser parser = new SvnLogParser();
5: string textToSearch = "Hmmm...";
6: var results = parser.GetCommentsByQuery(comment => comment.Contains(textToSearch));
7: CollectionAssertExtensions.IsNotEmpty(results);
8: }
10: [Test]
11: public void GetCommentsByQuery_LookFormBugText_FindAtLeastOne()
12: {
13: SvnLogParser parser = new SvnLogParser();
14: string textToSearch = "bug";
15: var results = parser.GetCommentsByQuery(comment => comment.Contains(textToSearch));
16: CollectionAssertExtensions.IsNotEmpty(results);
17: }
You can see that the two methods are pretty much the same, the only change is the textToSearch variable.There are some excuses for such duplication:
We, of course, can refactor this code, like this:
2: public void GetCommentsByQuery_LookFormBugText_FindAtLeastOne()
4: string textToSearch = "bug";
5: GetCommentsByQuery_AssertAllItemsStartsWith(textToSearch);
6: }
9: [Test]
10: public void GetCommnentsByQuery_LookForHmmmText_VerifyInsideComment()
11: {
12: string textToSearch = "Hmmm...";
13: GetCommentsByQuery_AssertAllItemsStartsWith(textToSearch);
14: }
16: public void GetCommentsByQuery_AssertAllItemsStartsWith(string textToSearch)
17: {
18: SvnLogParser parser = new SvnLogParser();
19: var results = parser.GetCommentsByQuery(comment => comment.StartsWith(textToSearch));
21: CollectionAssertExtensions.AllItemsSatisfy(results, res => res.Comment.StartsWith(textToSearch));
22: }
This is better when you think of clone detection: less identical rows and the logic was extracted to one method.But people might say that they can't see the AAA (Arrange, Act, Assert) and they want it in one place,Moreover, in such code sample, it is harder to find all the input parameters, cause they will be spread all over the TestFixture methods.
NUnit 2.5 added TestCaseAttribute, this can help us write tests that are:
1: [TestCase("Hm...")]
2: [TestCase("bug")]
2: [TestCase("bug")]
3: public void GetCommentsByQuery_LookForText_FindAtLeastOne(string textToSearch)
4: {
5: SvnLogParser parser = new SvnLogParser();
Here you can avoid the duplication and you won't need to refactor your Tests to more than one method, while you still see them running using the given parameter, for example when the second parameter will fail you will see this output:
------ Test started: Assembly: App.Tests.dll ------
TestCase 'App.Tests.NewFolder1.SvnLogParserTests.GetCommentsByQuery_LookForText_FindAtLeastOne("Hm...")'
Expected: True
But was: False
C:\ShaniData\ProjectsByTitle\Delver\App.Tests\NewFolder1\SvnLogParserTests.cs(75,0): at App.Tests.NewFolder1.CollectionAssertExtensions.IsNotEmpty[T]
C:\ShaniData\ProjectsByTitle\Delver\App.Tests\NewFolder1\SvnLogParserTests.cs(33,0): at App.Tests.NewFolder1.SvnLogParserTests.GetCommentsByQuery_LookForText_Find...
4 passed, 1 failed, 0 skipped, took 0.78 seconds (NUnit 2.5).
The output will point the given method and the parameter used - which will ease finding the error.You can extend reading about the usage here

DRAGONS & Other Holiday Tales
By Jackie Burrell
Monday, December 24th, 2007 at 9:21 am in Books.
Sarah Wilson, the Danville children's author, has penned another holiday tale, perfect for bedtime storytelling on this, the most difficult bedtime-night of the year. (Has Santa come yet? How 'bout now? Do you hear reindeer? Is it morning yet? How 'bout now?) Catch "Dragon Tale: Edward's Day of Giving" on the cover of today's Times TimeOut section or click to it right here.
And if you're looking for some charmingly twisted holiday carols, we'll be running the results of the Times' "faux carol" contest tomorrow – we asked readers to submit new lyrics to old faves – but you can catch a sneak peek now, as the Acalanes High School choir sings "We Three Kids," a funny Three Kings riff on college kids coming home, by Lafayette songwriter Kat Mulkey.

But I did my home work, read all the online Elite Connections reviews and checked them out with the Better Business Beareu. They seemed like reputable matchmakers so I joined.

The Road to Everest Challenge Stage Race 2012
Weight Weight Don't Tell Me: How much do the lbs really matter?
I admit it… I lacked some willpower while in Belgium in April on our Spring Classics Trip. I'm not afraid to say I'm fond of a Belgian beer or two, the food over there is delicious and frites & mayo are a requisite part of watching bike racing. So I've gained some lbs and I'm now going to have to put in the hard work to lose them again before Everest Challenge.
First step – beer and wine. Much as I do like a glass of wine in the evening and a cold beer at the end of the day, this really is one of the easiest ways to reduce calorie intake without any loss of nutrient value ;-( . More on this in later blogs – i.e. how does alcohol really affect the athlete.
A few people asked me recently at our High Altitude Training Camp how much every extra lb counts for in terms of speed. Since it's been waaaay to long since I sat in my school physics classes I'm relying on someone else with more brain power than me to have done the calculations correctly. I like this site: bikecalculator.com which seems to have done the math (based on some estimates, assumptions and variables remaining constant). Obviously other factors come into play here (including the fact that you often drop weight as you train more and therefore gain additional speed not just from losing lbs but from gaining fitness).
This calculator seems to suggest if I lost a mighty 10lb between now and Everest Challenge I'd gain about 10 minutes on White Mountain (a 21 mile climb with a 6% average grade). What I love about this calculator too is that you can put a negative grade and zero power into the calculator and play around with what speed you can 'theoretically' hit on a descent. This bit is fun, particularly if you watch the speed difference between 5,000 feet altitude and the thin air at 10,000 feet.
