After finishing up today's honey do list. I snuck outside to swap the petcock on the XR
I was far to lazy to drain the tank. So I removed it and placed it on its side (it did drip from the vent but the process dident take long)
(Yea I know. It's already removed in the pic lol)
Here are the petcock a side by side
The strainer on the original was fubared when I did the rust removal.
The reserve with thus petcock is about 3/4" lower then before. But I can live with that
And here it is on the bike
I can finally stop clamping the fuel line wooo
I fired it up for a test run and the bike eventually quit. I poped the fuel line off.... Nothing
Not assuming it was the petcock I cracked the gas cap open. It started flowing.
I smacked the cap on the ground and seems ok now.
Wondering if there's better aftermarket caps. Or options here
Thanks
Dave
