Thanks Charlie. I'll pester MI for the gaskets tomorrow.

Hi "Zerhackermann,"
On my MI adapter/petcock setup there is a gasket/sealing washer between each adapter and the tank and between the petcocks and adapters (down inside the attaching nut). To get the petcocks turned the desired direction, turn the attaching nut on the petcock body. By trial and error you'll find how to turn it to get a good seal and have the outlets pointed correctly. With the adapters you loose the filter screens but retain the reserve tubes. I run inline fuel filters anyway, so this isn't a problem. Just my $.02 worth.

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