    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.

Re installing sending unit

My 82 1100E is just about done with the paint, I plan to install the tank this weekend. When I stripped down last weekend I pulled the sending unit out. I have tried for days to find a new rubber o gasket but could not find anywhere. The old one is a little tired looking but not torn. Does anyone recommend any sealer when I install back this weekend? If so what kind and where? I want to thank all of you all for your input and me getting my old dream bike up and running! I cant wait to do some fall riding on her this year. Brian
 
If the O ring is in good shape you shouldn't need any sealer. I've never used any. :)
 
Should be a flat gasket on the sending unit, I don't remember an "O" ring. If a round, flat gasket, it shouldn't be a problem to make a new one, especially if you have an untorn one to use for a pattern.
 
How about some pics of your bike, which BTW is the pinnacle of air cooled superbikedom? :applouse:
 
Thank you Rich for the info on the gasket I ordered one up. Thanks again Brian
 
:encouragement:

I case you need help getting the sending unit back in the tank, here's a short video.
