Alright, I've got a few questions. This pic shows where I'm at in the tear down process. I took the tank off today but I ran into a problem. When I put the petcock in the 'on' position and removed the fuel line, gas still came out. No matter what position I put it in, gas came out. I had to pinch the fuel line with a vice grip to keep fuel from coming out. Any suggestions?

I've sent the cam chain tensioner to be modified. It won't be back for a while but I'm wandering what's the best way to remove the old gasket without doing damage to the engine?

Get a new fuel tap.

Got the clutch cover gasket, oil filter and header gasket. Now I just need my Verslavy so I can start putting this thing back together. I have absolutely no experience working on motorcycles but with the help of everyone on this website, I'm giving it a go. Thanks everyone! !
