Brass "T" ?
Written by c172myp51 on 10/5/2010 at 03:43 pm

I've asked for, and received some helpful emails that sort of detail what to do
here. I'm trying to get up the courage to do it on my own bike, but I'm waiting
on some photos, or at least a sketch of "what's up with that".

In the meantime, maybe you're more mechanically inclined than I am & can work
with these direx thoughtfully sent my way:

"You have to take the side plastic off to get the fake tank cover off. The
petcock is right there at the back of the fake tank cover. There is the main gas
line coming in and two gas lines going out to the two carbs. There is also a
small vacuum line that is used to open the petcock when the bike is running.
This vacuum line isn't needed when you go to the brass T so it has to be plugged
with a small screw or something or the bike will run like crap. I bought three
mini hose clamps to replace the factory clamps."
