The bike when on the on position seems not to be getting its gas all the time and when you put it on res it runs ok. the tank can be full and this happens. someone told me it it porbably the filter in the fuel **** needs to be cleaned and i want to know the best way to get it off.
Hi,whoever told you that the filter needs cleaning,will be quite correct,the fuel filter is part of the fuel tap(petcock),you will need to remove the tank from the bike,(empty it of fuel first),tip the tank upside down and you will see the two(normally)bolts that hold the tap in,try not to damage the seal(normally a rubber o-ring),you will see two long tubes,the longer one is the reserve side and the shorter is the "on position"you will probably find the shorter one has a coating of rusty looking material on it,clean both of the tubes and gauzes carefully and reinstall in the oposite order to the above,hopefully your problem will go away..hope this helps...cheeers
On a 2007 shadow 750 fuel tank. does the petcock work off of a motor vacuum? i have the tank off and the petcock "on" and no fuel what so ever is coming out
