    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...

Fuel tank breather vent hole, GS750?

Hi All
I am aware that the GS750 fuel petcock runs with a vacuum from the carbs, but can anyone tell me if the fuel tank has a vent hole to prevent a vacuum building up inside and stopping the fuel flowing?

I am getting some engine problems and when I stop for petrol there is a big “hiss” when I remove the tank cap.

Regards
Adi
 
Good man, thank you. I thought there must be one. Bit odd though as the fuel tank cap I have was a brand new OEM cap I bought a year ago and hasn’t seen much use. I will give it a check over.:encouragement:
 
soak it in vinegar overnight then spray a lot of air up under the chrome cap. theres a chanell in there for air and compessed air will flush out what the vinegar breaks up.
