    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

I ordered the OEM part for my bike and it did not come with a lever. Does it truly not have one? If it does, anyone know where to get it? Thanks!!!

Either do a 'search' or just stand by. You'll get a bunch of responses pretty quickly.:)

There is no lever on that particular petcock. Install it and go. The service manual, which I trust you already have, details everything you need to know regarding this subject.
 
T from the ground is prime (which requires a quick puff of vacuum to actually work)
Parallel to the ground is run or on.
I'm referring to that tiny slot in the front of the petcock.
 
Oh no!

The dreaded 1980 petcock!

There's no reserve and it's really inconvenient to use a little screwdriver to change from "ON" to "PRIME". It should work as advertised. Just keep an eye on your gas gauge and learn how many miles you can go before you need to fill up again.


Thank you for your indulgence,
