thanks John.
Did you remove the reserve tube too?
you have to remove the screens in order to use the adaptor to fit the
loopframe tank.
It seems to me that the metal/metal thread would be prone to leaking.
Also with all the threads tight, the petcocks don't face the right way...but
that can be worked around.

<P>I replaced my old leaky petcocks with the newer ones from Moto International in 99 and I did not need any gaskets but the only thing I had to sacrifice was the screens that the origionals had. They do not leak anymore with the new petcocks and I have not noticed any sediment passing through the petcocks without the screens. I called M.I. to see if any screens were avaliable for these and they said no, but things may have changed since then.</P>
<P>Good Luck:</P>

<DIV></DIV>>I'm closing in on finishing the Ambo.
<DIV></DIV>>The tank is blasted and the wiring is slowly coming along. Got the
<DIV></DIV>>battery
<DIV></DIV>>for 15 bux at WalMart.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Questions:
<DIV></DIV>>I fought with 2 gas caps before I figured out that I indeed have the
<DIV></DIV>>flip up
<DIV></DIV>>with lever cap type tank. Fortunately I had a sevicable one on a
<DIV></DIV>>battered
<DIV></DIV>>old tank I had. Popped that sucker in place after a quick run on the
<DIV></DIV>>buffer....yowsa! One problem. There seems to be an 1/8" gap in the
<DIV></DIV>>rubber
<DIV></DIV>>gasket under the cap. It's on the left (downhill) side and if I put
<DIV></DIV>>the bike
<DIV></DIV>>on its side stand it will leak. It appears the the bolt under the
<DIV></DIV>>cap is
<DIV></DIV>>peened so you cant take the nut off. true? shoud that gasket have
<DIV></DIV>>that gap?
<DIV></DIV>>Are these caps rebuildable?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I got the newer petcocks and adaptors from Moto International. You
<DIV></DIV>>guys
<DIV></DIV>>running these, do you need gaskets in the adaptors?
