Yeah! All went well in this portion of your "variety" video series. As I've said before, I wish people who design things would have to actually work on them. With a just a little hands on experience, many things could be enhanced by small design changes. That's for sure! Hope Charly's fender comes in soon, so ya'll can go riding together. Have a blessed Saturday, with a good portion of porch time. God Bless. Godspeed when you venture off the porch.
Good job. I hated working with O-rings in my younger days. Now days I just try to find my son or his best friend to do it. Those O-rings always seem to not go in place without some adult words. Ethanol was the worst thing our government ever did to us. Especially hard on small engines and anything rubber.
Brad, there is a silicon oil available specifically for preserving and lubricating O rings. It helps with my airguns. If I didn’t misplace the bottle, I would give you the name. Next time.
These O rings are immersed in gasoline so nothing would last long especially in ethanol fuel. The originals lasted 13 years so I’ll probably be worm food before it needs new ones again.
I remember hearing a zydeco song about a “Cow”asaki. It was about a guy that road his cow to see his girlfriend. There’s wisdom in having a “vehicle” you can eat if it causes any trouble.
Im going to tackle this tonight on my Harley. noticed a fuel smell yesterday on it and definetly leaking there. I unplugged the fuel line and it stopped leaking so hoping its just the 2nd oring on the female coupler just above the ball bearings A banjo bolt would have been a much better option there.....
@@bctruck yeah, took the tank off and made the job very simple. Good as new now and cost me all of $2.30 for the Viton O-Rings from a bearing shop. I ended up replacing all of the orings and have 2 sets of spares to boot Plus for anyone else interested the larger Oring is exactly the same as oil,transmission & primary drain plug Orings
How dare you give people free advice and try to steer them in the right direction and show them how to fix something and help them save money! You don't have a cool colored certificate with a fancy seal hanging on your wall! Disgrace!
I'll bet he does have a least one, handing up, somewhere. It's from the School of Hard Knocks that teaches valuable skills that often can't be learned any other way.
Just to get TO the problem, IS a Problem. What a MAZE! DIY saves you a lotta cash. Good job! Happy Day!
What a good feeling to have that done!
Good job fixing your bike. A little tricky, but you did it.
Have a blessed day!
Taking the tank off the bike made it much much easier.

We are getting tired of waiting on that fender. It’s been an unreasonably long time now to just fix a small dent.

I had to use all My adult words to get the O rings in.

Ice cream,,, to go with cake! Now I’m hungry!

Yes! A vehicle that you can eat and it can procreate you another vehicle. You could set up shop and sell lightly used cows with low miles.

@guitarplayerlp7018 good to know!
I can feel Charlie’s whiplash from here.
They need to speed up their “process” before something festers.
I got a feeling this is the week, because they’re calling for rain. Last week was beautiful all week. Of course it wouldn’t be ready.
Good job. Im glad you got it going.
Rode it some today. Good as new.
look a dirty squirrel lol of course you was gonna polish it up lol
I guess it’s no secret that I’m easily dis,,,,,,,, oh look, a rusty spot.
Brad, those who can do and those who can't just talk sh*t. lol It will never change. Phil
And then there are those that spend so much time obsessing over the right way to do things, that they never avail do anything.
Did you remember to wear pants while you were dragging your butt in the floor? 😄
Wear Pants??? Can I do that?? I assumed that was done nekkid. I’ll have to google it.
I’m wondering if you can just take out the valve from the tank and just work on the valve itself?
No you can’t. It’s connected by hose to the fuel pump inside the tank.
@@bctruck yeah after more research I saw that, too much more work😉 I think I’ll just remove the tank like you did and do it on the bench.
@TjMills1972 it’s much easier and taking the tank off is really just a couple bolts and it comes right off.
Nice job!
Thanks!
This is a NIGHTMARE
I cannot get the Orings off the tank
I'm so pissed
It takes a pick at a 90degree angle. It’s much easier once you take the tank off.

I need to draw a certificate out in crayon and hang it on the shop
Wall.
