Petcock rebuild: 82 GS1100GL

[Larry D]

What did I learn: you can not synch a rack of carbs to one bike and expect it to work on another: each is different. This was on two low mileage GS1100GLZ. Each bike must be synch'd individually.

What did I learn:
Set your carb floats. Mine were waay off.

Be very,very careful when removing the float pins. Try to get ahold of the end and pull and twist them out gently. A pair of small needle nose pliers works well. You may have to tap on the opposing end, but do it with great care and soft touch, the posts that the pins are in tend to break easily.

And you may want to invest in an impact driver, if you don't have or can get one.
