    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Though I can't help you directly with those particular sites/products, I can say that I've just gone with Pingels. They're a little spendy, but they're manual and allow me to escape the vacuum petcock arrangement. They are also high flow.

Good luck.
 
I'll take a new oem over the mangled up rebuild project that is in the top drawer of my tool box.

Works great for keeping the paperwork from flying around the shop, with the doors open. :-\\\
 
I went with the kit from http://www.carbkitscapital.com/
The were the only ones with a kit specific to my bike that looked correct..
At $13 if it didn't work it would be no big loss.

My issue was that it wouldn't close anymore.. It didn't leak any place it shouldn't have..
I've been riding by keeping the tank below the reserve level and switching to run to shut the fuel off.

A few weeks ago I got the kit and got to fixing it.

I dipped everything except the nylon bits and the diaphragm cover (it has a rubber one way air valve you can't access)..
Nothing was pitted so I installed the kit and put it back together..

So far it's working perfectly..
