Two schools on the inline filters. I chose not to use them. My petcock was the type that had the large screen inside the tank, and a smaller screen at the exit nipple of the petcock.

There have been many arguments over restriction of flow, that sort of thing.

Petcocks can be rebuilt.

You will want to drain the tank so that you can drop both petcocks and check for debris and make sure that the screens that go over the outlet tubes are in place and looking good.

That's great! Yeah, having one of those covers move would be a problem. I never saw it happen on my '79 in 35 years, though. Not surprised it could happen, though.

I would at least open up the caliper to see what it's condition is like.

Go ahead, ask me how I know.

I had a Honda Civic with a factory digital speedometer. I gave the car to a friend in exchange for the 2002 Civic she had. I attempted to replicate the digital speedometer with a dedicated smartphone (cheepie) with a digital speedometer app on it. Not nearly as satisfying as the factory unit. I had ...

Camped for many years from coast to coast. Always enjoyed the great outdoors and the camaraderie when meeting like minded people. Unfortunately at this point in life, creature comforts are more aligned in my universe. Didn't someone at Ken's in Oklahoma once arrive in a RV, dropped the back into a ...

I never thought that I would like those - until I tried it!

One of the last interstate rides I took on a motorcycle (my R65) was in 2011. I remember crossing a deep valley on a high bridge and feeling a wave of panic I had never felt before. It seems, when one looks to the side to take in the view (sightsee), the bike tends to follow one's glance. It scared ...
