I thought it was leaky carbs, it turned out to be a fuel petcock that shuts off only when you hit its "sweet spot"66Sprint said:Excellent start.....just keep it up!....

Yeah I was eyeing one, but I am going to lump that order with a bunch of other parts to save on shipping. At the moment, I set the switch to about a millimeter below "OFF" and it work just fine. Anything else, and I get a couple tablespoons of fuel in said PVC cap the next day.66Sprint said:That is a common problem..... Sometimes a thorough cleaning will remedy it, sometimes a "new" petcock is required (about $50).......... Just thought I'd warn ya!..... Steve
Sounds like you'll do fine when tackling those carbs. They're more simple than you think. Take your time, and in the meantime if needed, I've got 4 spare carbs up for grabs....krukster86 said:I am going to take the carbs off (one at a time of course!) and study them before cleaning them.
I like the look of some cafe bikes out there that forgo the side covers and move the battery to the back bump of a the cafe seat, but that is out of my area of expertise, so I am fine with the way mine looks. At the moment, I do not see any really obvious cafe-style changes coming up soon, I just want to keep my bike running happily![]()
