Rusty fuel tank issues....

[crazycunuc]

Time to take on the petcock. This thing was literally clogged up solid with god knows what... just did a quick little go over this morning.

Stripped it down, glass beaded all the components, dug out the passages, ultrasonic cleaner, new O-rings and VUALA!!...Looks and works like a charm!!

Also just ordered the fuel cap seal kit. Don't let my H2 I'm cheating on her with a Yamaha











Like usual i couldn't do this at work without polishing SOMETHING!
Sure nobody will see it but It's like wearing fancy underwear...nobody knows it's there except for you

Ok...back to reality

Nice job! What shape was the diaphragm and the 4 hole gasket in?

Looks great...man that was clogged full. Is that a crack in the brass tube? what are you using in your ultrasonic?

[crazycunuc]

There was no diaphragm but the 4 hole gasket was...ok. no cracks or anything so I re-used it.

After a few tests there were no leaks

Thanks!

Yeah, that tube is pretty beat..there are seceral cracks. I plan on sealing them up tonight. I forget what it's called but I'll take a look tomorrow at work and let you know

The lack of brass cage was really grinding my gears so I added a little piece of H2

If you want to replace I used some brass tube from a on line hobby store and pressed it in.

[crazycunuc]

Really eh.... and it's just a press fit? No glue or anything?

K&S precision metals #8132 or #8133 can’t remember
