    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.

@$&$#@ Fuel Lines

After all but disconnecting or bypassing my pet cock all together I ran the line from the petcock down behind the side cover were I fitted an on/off valve and then back up to an inline filter and to the carbs. I will take a picture of it if I remember while I am n the shop tonight and post it here.
 
Dave, I have on occasion when changing fuel lines and not wanting to make a trip out to get 5/16" line, tried to install the 1/4" line I had on hand. Forget it! It is nearly impossible to get stiff 1/4" automotive fuel line on a 5/16" barb even with the carbs out of the bike. With the carbs on the bike, weLLLLLLL....lets just say its quicker and easier to remove the carbs, go back to the parts store and buy 5/16" fuel line and start over. :-)

And.........if you do get 1/4" fuel line fitted over a 5/16" barb, once it takes a set, you will not be able to pull it off even if you hire a gorilla with a set of vice grips. You will have to cut it off and replace it. :-) Just not worth it.

I started to realize they gave me the wrong size fuel lines. 1/4" and 3/16" instead of 5/16". Wether that makes a difference I'm not sure?
So, I'm trying my damnest to get this on with out fighting my carbs again.

Thanks for all the help on this. After all that I finally got it. Rode to work this morning and no leaks. :lol: :lol: I couldn't really get on it this morning, so not sure if it made a difference in the power yet. But ran good and all is right in the world again today. :wink: 8)
That fuel line is going to be on there for quite some time. :?
