Thank you all for all the responses. I put the "Headbanger Icon" on my post because the thread i attached it to actually addressed the same problem, and the response to that was MEK. I was in an auto parts store & next to acetone they had a rustoleum product called "Airplane stripper", JD Ace...

It took me a while to realize the rust colored crud inside my gas tank wasn't rust, but some material the previous owner tried to line the tank with. I haven't a clue what it is but it appears to be like wrinkle paint and its fouling my carbs.(I need a better filter) I am open to suggestions...

Pete I have an 81 xs with a TCI ignition, I just did a valve job & replaced the rings, I have issues with backfiring in the carb(left side). I've cleaned the carbs a# of times and I cant seem to get it to last long enough to get into gear, I suspect it might be ignition. Which model would get...

Last season I removed the Engine to do a Valve Job. Prior to removal I had the full compliment of electrical capabilities, starter, lights horn etc. After instalation I have naught, nothing, save a clicking when I activate the Horn. I bought a brand new Battery & its fully charged. I am not...

Let me give a little more info, on the petcock there is a 6 o'clock & a 3-o'c nipple the 3-oc never had a line that I recall, prior to the Valve job i had no issues with leakage I just can't remember the hook-up to the carbs. I'm assuming that the 3-oc is from the reserve. The vaccuum is...

I just did a valve job last summer & completed the job mid fall, I opted not to fuel & fire to leave it all winter. OK now I'm starting upp & I 'm putting the tank on & I see the Petcock(81 xs) has 2 nipples but the tank doesn't have any way of attachment from the other side, is the reserve...
