Gas tank Will 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 gas tank fit a 1995 Kawasaki Vulcan 800?

More than likely you have a bad fuel petcock. No fuel should go from tank to carb without the engine running because the fuel is pulled by vacuum. Remove line from petcock an have it set to on or reserve position and if fuel comes out it is bad, and let's the fuel continue to flow to the carb and seep into the engine oil also. Mine was bad and had my oil thin as water with all the gas in it. Wonder it didn't wash a bearing out of the engine. Check and drain oil immediately if the petcock is bad.

You probably have a stuck or maladjusted float in the carburetor.

Hello Donald, There are 3 bolts that hold on the Tank, one at the bottom under the seat and 1 on each side of the the tank front bottom near the air boxes be carefull the gromets like to fall out don't lose them. I hope this helps.

Try loosening the gas cap to see if the tank is venting properly. Gas can't flow from the tank unless air can get in to replace it. If loosening the cap solves the problem then try to clear the vent in the cap or just get a new cap.

it can...please check clutch lining also.
sliding clutch can cause hi rev but minimal speed

In the header tank. Pretty sure they are a sealed unit, meaning no radiator cap. If you look at your radiator, follow the hose back to a small resovior tank, it should be easily accessible so check the obvious locations(even under the seat).

I pulled up the two models of an 800 drifter and the tanks on both the e2 and the A8 are the same....they may be counting what you have in reserve to......but i don't know since i have the 1500
Hope this helps
