Many are not aware of the filters in the petcock. A friend around the corner from me kept complaining about his carb. needing cleaned and how he must be doing something wrong because the bike still was not running right. I told him to install in line filter to pick up the crap before it got to carb. During the conversation he mentioned that it seemed as if the carb. was starving for fuel. I asked if he had checked the filters in the petcock. He swore there were none. I bet him $20.00 there was. One hour passed and he came down with $20.00 in his hand and thanked me. He said he was ready to give up and was going to take it to a shop to have the carb. adjusted. After cleaning the filters in the petcock, the bike runs like new. I told him to keep the $20.00 and buy the in line filter to keep him and the carb. happy.
