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?
