    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

hey everyone sorry for being a pain. but today i found out on my gs1100ex petcock when on prime is dumping fuel out the vacuum tube and the main gas tube so it dumping fuel like crazy i was wondering what rebuild kit would cover the vacuum portion and the whole petcock not just the main gaskets
 
Just get a new petcock as many folks have had issues with rebuild kits. I still need to put the new one on my bike sometime...probably wait for winter though since it's too nice being able to ride.
 
I seem to be the only guy on here who has been blessed with good luck when it comes to petcock rebuilds - I've never had a problem (and I've done loads). Petcocks, or fuel taps as we call them in the more 'traditional' part of the world are bloody expensive here so the kits have saved me quite a few quid over the years.

If it's dumping fuel down the vacuum line it's the diaphragm that's gone (split / cracked). That should be a part in every kit.
 
i was looking on z1 enterprises and i cant seem to figure out what kit i need could anyone send me a link plz haha
 
alright thank you ya we found out the petcock was shot because it foulded out the number 3 plug and was leaking gas into the exhaust and oil so i gotta change the oil and rebuild the petcock and hopefully that fixes the problem i got new plugs to
