    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.

how to make your petcock turn off

I just acquired an "extra" fuel tank for my '79 GS1000E, naturally I'm filling it with gas and checking for leaks, no leaks from the tank, however when in the "PRI" and "RES" position the petcock does not completely shut off,
has a "slow leak" so I'm debating what to do about that if anything.
Alot of options listed here to consider.
 
is there anything else that I have to compensate for other than plugging the vacuum from the #3 carb and plugging the vacuum from the petcock?

Will the carbs operate properly with the #3 vacuum plugged?

Thanks!
 
Wish I'd known about this in June... would have saved me a hell of a lot of hassle fitting the 750/1100 tank to my GS1000 (The petcock that I had that would clear the carb had a slow leak & the other two good petcocks wouldn't clear the carbs).

As it was only a very slow leak & a temporary tank I would have done this & called it good... :)

I eventually got all my leaky petcocks fixed, just took some patience,
seals, and a little tinkering.
