    finally have a petcock rebuild kit any thing to look out for

    It finally came in my petcock rebuild kit I've been having problems with the engin stalling out at 7000rmp on full throttle so off came the tank to look at the carbs. Should have been easy but the gas would not stop flowing so rebuild the petcock. Any thing I should lookout for during the rebuild? I'd also like any thoughts on what could be causing the stalling on full throttle.
    Thanks
    Ian (not looking forward to smelling like gas all weekend)

    Nope

    It's pretty straight forward and you won't have any problems. Just make sure you put the replacement stuff in correctly and be sure to clean your petcock filter screen. Good luck!

      Ian: Are the motovan rebuild kits off backorder finally? I need a couple but they were backordered until September last I heard (talk about dropping the ball on that one)

      Thanks, Steve

        Make sure the gasket doesn't crimp.

          The motovan rebuild kits are on backorder still but my shop found a tour max kit. It looks good and is made in Japan so I'll let you know how it works, I'm going to get time to work on it tonight or Sunday.
