Ted,
I have experienced both of the problems you describe.
The actions you took for the brake were similar to mine and mine shut up
for good. I'd double check that all of the keepers and bits are in place
and the shoes are seated properly.
The petcock thing is another one I've wrestled with. I have at times
gotten the float needles to seat well and not leak only to find the
316th time there's a puddle. I finally just out of habit turn them off
whenever I stop.
I would check your sump level and condition before starting the bike. I
did have fuel run down into my left cyclinder (on the side stand) and
fill the sump with enough gas to be at the oil plug threads.

Two things. My rear brake was making horrible noises, I took it apart and sprayed brake cleaner over all the appropriate surfaces and used a dremel to grind off the ridge on the edge where the brake shoe wasn't making contact with the drum, put it back together and it was great for a few miles then started doing it again. It not only sounds terrible, but I can feel it vibrating through my foot. Do I just need new pads or what? Also, I left my petcock on last night and this morning had a surprisingly large puddle of gasoline under the bike. On one side it was dripping out of the air filter, the other looked like it was coming from the bowl or somewhere similar. Should I worry about this, or just leave my petcock off when parked? Thanks for sharing your accumulated wisdom. Ted |
