I just finished re-installing my tank/seat/etc after doing the Raptor swap about an hour ago. My '98 had to sit all last year, and when I tried to get it running this spring, no go. Petcock wouldn't open even with vacuum blocked- dead, no fuel flow etc etc. Ordered Raptor, disassembled everything, pulled carb, found low speed jets plugged with hard gritty crap. Dumped out the tank into a clear bucket and found a bit of rusty crap in the bottom, the finest of which apparently found its way to my carb. Flushed it all out,installed new petcock, reassembled bike, and it cranks/idles/runs fine now. Now for a state inspection, insurance, and tag renewal.
Perhaps I'll scout around for a new piece of fuel line and a decent inline filter for that 'belt & suspenders' peace of mind.
And BTW, hi, Toes!
