Hello All,
I went to remove my petcock earlier to begin removing the rust from the tank, and the strainer part did not come out with it. The bike is a 1980 CB400t hawk
Here's what I got out:
Here's what's still in there
I just want to confirm that the orange bit (there's the outer ring of metal then the orange ring inside it) is actually supposed to come out, because it currently feels like it's cemented in there. Any tips to remove it? I am not worried about damaging it as I just checked and a whole new petcock is 7$ on ebay
Thank you!
