Title: petcock screen? WHERE??
Post by Rocco on 11/30/09 at 22:12:05

i removed the petcock from the tank, this big orange thing is sticking up out of it.

then i took off the 4 little screws to look inside....where the heck is this screen i'm supposed 2 clean??????

and i am tryin to put a new spark plug in, it says .08 or .09 but the one i pulled out is like a .04 and when i gap the new one to .08 it looks too far away and @ an angle.....what the heck lol

hahhahahahahaahaha thank God, cuz the square part took some coercing to get open and i envisioned the friggin screen flyin off into the night!

so how do i clean it? lol

and dude, i hit reserve on the way home so i was like "sweet there shouldn't be much 2 drain".....waaaay wrong lol

so not i'm debating what to do with the head covers and the battery box....both are chrome....but i don't want to bake them(who is gonna let me bake bike parts?) LOL!! so if i can paint them without using the easy bake oven...that would be good lol

Be sure whether you're dealing with metric measurement (millimeters) or with SAE (inches).

yeah i just realized i did it to .o8 lol not .8.....freakin a! i guess that's what i get for messing around in the dark lol

no worries, i'll just pick up another plug, luckily they are only a buck or 2!

Yep, at .08 in, I'd bet it did look too big,....about double what it should be ?

not one of my smarter moments, and yeah the plug wasn't even inline anymore lol!!

the old one is black and the tip is tan....i guess that's what it's supposed to be?
