    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    78 1000 Brand New Petcock leaking

    Just to make sure I went ahead and found some of the 1/4 ones like the HD ones locally today. I put them on and no leaking at all from the bolts. (I will get the oem ones on my next suzuki order) Still leaking from the fuel nipple. Back to the drawing board.....or parts supply.

    78 1000 Brand New Petcock leaking

    This is what I thought also. I just soaked the 3 hole disc with gas and reinstalled it but that did not work. Still leaking. I may just have to order the new gaskets or a rebuild kit (which I thought would be worse) and see what happens. Thx.

    78 1000 Brand New Petcock leaking

    I actually wiped the bolts with a paper towel to make sure and they were dry. It is for sure coming from the fuel nipple. Thx. I do need some of the those washers if anyone has a good source. Right now I am using a rubber and metal washer combo but they are holding up.

    78 1000 Brand New Petcock leaking

    Hey Steve, Yes it is strange for sure. I am thinking there are minions in my garage. I did look carefully and made sure it was dripping right at the fuel nipple and not the bolt holes or seal. I might have to try soaking the rubber parts in gas for awhile. It was in my attic in a box for a...

    78 1000 Brand New Petcock leaking

    I just finished treating my tank with evaporust and wanted to get some gas in there right away so I put the petcock back on and it started leaking from the fuel nipple. I took it apart and tried to clean it but it still kept leaking. Drip, drip, drip. I remembered I had a brand new one from...

    Gas Tank Rust - Phosphoric Acid vs Evapo-Rust?

    I just did mine with apple cider vinegar. Filled the whole thing up and just let it sit in there for about 5 days. Amazing how much surface rust came off. I should have taken a picture. Easy to work with and I did not put anything inside. You can also strain it when done and use it again.
