    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.

Petcock question

Hi all, I did use the search function first but apologies if this is a duplicate question.

I have an '82 GSX1100EZ and recently pulled the carbs out to clean them as well as giving the tank a flush. After putting it back together the vacuum petcock appears to not be working at all as when I turn it to prime no fuel flows. The lever had been increasingly hard to turn leading up to this. Has anyone else had this problems problem? I'm thinking buying a new one is the simplest option.
thank you :-)
 
I have had this and it was due to putting the new kit in wrong.
How I managed that I don't know. Spring on the wrong side I think.
A long shot perhaps but worth a look.

Yes, just buy a new one and be done with it. It has given it's all for 35 years, time to send it to pasture.:D
