No the metal plate is rusted and tell for sure what it reads. Was hoping someone knewA quick picture would help.
No pics at the moment but the frame says it's a 1977 but I think the engine is a different one than came in it. PLUS I just learned it is not a xs650 fuel tankThe people on here will help if you can post a picture of the rusted petcock, or provide year/ model of the motorcycle
Ok I've discovered the fuel petcock isn't original XS650 and it's is a 3 position valve being On, Off and Reserve. How do i determine were the leak is coming from. I know it's dripping from the bottom of the carburetor and shutting the gas OFF DOESN'T
Yes it does stop it when I turn it with the end pointing to the backHi Xs,
Check if your orphan petcock is vacuum-operated or not.
Check the petcock's function by removing the fuel hose and turning the petcock lever to see which (if any) of it's positions stop the fuel flow.
If turning the petcock lever left, right, or down don't stop the fuel flow try turning it upwards.
You may have to shorten the petcock lever and file the nubbin off the latch plate to do that.
I wish I could send you a videoPlease give more info
What petcock ? Possibility to close ?
Has floats been inspected
