I got the nut off my flip cap easy. Unfortunately, it stripped the bolt
when I put it back on, so I'm planning on rebuilding it. Mine also would
not close all the way on my tank. I saw a '73model with the same that
worked fine. I figue the hinge point has been bent and need adjusting.
(a joke)
What's the difference betwen adjusting and bending?
You can charge $25 an hour for adjusting ;)

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? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer athttp://explorer.msn.com --- Sponsor's Message -------------------------------------- Does Windows ME Work for You?
