    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...

    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.

auxillary fuel tank with a non GS petcock

Dumb question

I am looking for an auxillary small fuel tank for my GS650 whilst I spray and un dent my current fuel tank, that I can hang from the handlebars.

The aux tank will be for when I sync the carbs with my yet to be bought cabtune.

My question is: The standard GS petcock has a fuel and vacuum outlet. The petcock I have has only fuel and no vaccum outlet.

Will it be a problem, or should I somehow try to adapt the standard GS petcock onto the aux tank?
 
you'll need to block off the vacuum pipe from the carbs while doing the sync (so it doesnt suck air), otherwise it should be fine
 
I use a plastic gas tank robbed from an old push mower. Rectangle tank 'bout 3x8''. works great. Sits across the frame rails with seat off, I put a bungee around it to keep from vibrating around. Just remember to plug vac. nipple on #2 carb as said earlier.
