Yeah, the air filter is clean.
Easy Rider,
I haven't posted here before, but I have posted this on the Total Motorcycle forums, if you frequent there.
Sorry, I didn't use the stabilizer to clean the tank. The old owner put some stabilizer in the tank when I got the bike, thinking it would help after the bike had already been sitting. ...I know :roll: .
I used Berryman's B12 after the tank was clean and it was gassed back up. FWIW, I did see some brown "stuff" on the bottom of the tank. Just on the lowest parts of the tank, not elsewhere. You've got me all freaked out now. I hope I didn't mess up my tank. O_o I's assume there's no way to look and tell if I damaged the lining?
The bike seems to be running MUCH better now. The only problem is the backfiring (and the uneven idle). I haven't taken it to work yet, because I don't want it to die in the middle of nowhere. I'll at least change the spark plug and the oil before I chance it.
music man,
I did take the petcock out. I was confused because I thought the service manual I downloaded showed the tubes on the petcock as the "fuel filters". I did look at them and noticed there were no large holes. Is that how it works? The gas just kind of flows through the tube itself rather than into any larger holes? I will look into a fuel filter.
