    Regulator and Keyswitch question

    gggGary, Thanks for the reply. I've searched this site and others and checked out the manufacturer's site for any clues as well before I posted my question. (I have a copy of the Ricks Diagram on my computer. The bottom one might as well be Chinese for me. Can't decipher it.) That being said...

    Regulator and Keyswitch question

    Hopefully a simple question: I want to make sure I'm getting an accurate voltage reading. Can I (or should I) bypass the keyswitch for my regulator sensing wire? I think the M-Unit (serving as my keyswitch) isn't giving me an accurate reading for my regulator. I want to go straight to...

    Redkote tank lining weird thing happened...

    I wonder if there is a possibility that the ethanol in the gas could be in higher levels depending on temperature, age of the fuel under the pump, etc... because this all started (I think) after I moved to a new house and started using gas almost exclusively from the same station.

    Followup: I'm gonna try Caswell this time. Any suggestions before I apply the goo?

    To prevent them from becoming rusty, holey p.o.s. Tanks. They will rust without either being constantly and completely full or coated in some way.

    Redkote tank lining weird thing happened...

    As far as cleaning the tank goes, I did as recommended on the can: Cleaned with degreaser, rinsed it out very thoroughly with distilled water, did another pass with Acetone to get the surface really clean/dry. let that evaporate for a few long hours, then hit it with Redkote. They stuff never...

    Redkote tank lining weird thing happened...

    Only whatever shit they put in the gas from the pump (Ethanol) I never use Stabilizer, additives etc. because the tank is only 1.8 gallons and fuel rarely sits in it that long... but I think this has been a silent issue unknown to me for a while because my carbs always ran like shit if the bike...

    Ha. Indeed. It seems this is not too weird after all... just very unfortunate. I'm perplexed. I don't know what sealer to use next (definitely not using Kreem).

    Redkote tank lining weird thing happened...

    I'm wondering if anyone's seen or heard anything happen like this before. UPDATE: Apparently, this is a common problem. Dang dang. So... my garage-kept bike was out of commission for a few months and I finally got it put back together and rolled her out into the street to test my work. I...
