    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.

So...

I went out today and spent about 3.5 hours working on the old bike.

While most of the time was wasted on the center stand spring (that spring is tougher than an mmf fighter to stretch out..finally gave up for the day on that) I did FINALLY grab my new file and file down the hole of the tank and install my new aftermarket k&n vacuum operated petcock.

I did notice that unlike the OEM which has a sealed top of petcock forcing gas to go v through the screen the after market has a screen but the top is not enclosed.

Is this normal ? Would I be paranoid about the petcock getting clogged? (The po installed an online filter after the petcock before the carbs so they should hopefully be OK)
 
So you can look down at top of this petcock and there's no cap on it- so gas can just bypass screen? If so, send it back
