Brass "T" ?
Written by bobb_todd on 10/5/2010 at 07:39 pm

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."
....................
This seems pretty straight forward. Any Idea what size "T"is used ?

Any issue removing the petcock and vacuum shut off ? I had one of the very first
GL1500s
and it didn't have a vacuum shutoff. If shut down when hot it would leach fuel
into the #1
cylinder which made it kind of hard to start.
