    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.

Check thast ptcock..it failed once so dont be so sure its good by any means. here is what I do to see if it leaks.

Get two soda bottles and two long length of hose. Put a line from the vacuum off the petcock to one bottle and a line from the fuel nipple to the other bottle. Fill the tank so it has the maximum fuel weight pressure against the petcock. Be sure its in the ON position and let it set over night at a minimum..or do the test when the weather says its gonna be crappy for a few days.

Object is to see if any fuel accumulates in any of the bottlles..and using two bottles will tell if the leak is via the vacuum tube OR via the fuel delivery line to the carbs. Get fuel in any one..replace the petcock. As many here that have tried rebuild kits..they RARELY are effective. Do NOT get any fuel in the bottlles the petcock is OK
