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?
