    rocco ...... thanks so much for your videos they have given me the confidence to dive into the maintenance on my recently purchased 2001 sportster, the bike had been sitting for a long time so when i started riding it the petcock started leaking. after watching your video i decided to fix this problem myself, i went the route of pulling the tank off and servicing the fuel screen at the same time as replacing the petcock. thanks a million $$$ Dale

    Been watching your videos for a little bit now, so thank you! QUESTION: I have a 2003 HD Sportster, 1200, 100th Anniversary, and the gas tank is I believe 3.3 gallons. I'm having an issue with the fuel, it seems that when I hit around 60 miles after filling up, the bike cuts off. I then switch to the reserve, and the bike will run again. Do you think I need to clean the gas filter, or, is there something else going on? There's still plenty of gasoline in the tank, but I can't seem to get past 60 miles before the bike starts to cut off, causing me to turn the reserve on and then I refill up with gas.

    • @TwoWheelRocco
      @TwoWheelRocco  6 месяцев назад

      Happy to help I would clean the gas tank take a look at your Petcock and buy a new screen. Sounds like you got a gas flow problem take a look at the vacuum hose coming off the Petcock to the Carburator. Sometimes they get old and fatigued and they start to collapse starving the bike of gas. Thank you for watching and all your support CMJP. Ride safe and have a great day.

      How many miles? I would first try to run some kind of gas and injector cleaner every time you put a full tank of gas and I think your problem should go away. I will send a video on cleaning the intake and your air filter. Let us know how it works out. Take a look. ruclips.net/video/hzxxamT5HL8/видео.html. The Sportster is like halfway on your oil dipstick. Take a look at your air filter if it is saturated with oil clean it do not read oil it and put it on dry. It all helps.

      No I do not. The trick is removal of your turn signals. this is wired to your rear running brake light. You will need to pull pins from you wire plugs. So you can pull your wire throw the fender and your strut. Hope this helps. A must turn signal first. Any question just ask. Thank you for your Sub Will. Let us know how this works out.

      That tank screen is very important without it. Your carburetor will have a lot of problems buy a new screen $10 $12. Let us know how it works out. Tank screens are important and cheap. Thank you for watching any questions. Just ask Pat. Ride safe and have a great day.

      @TwoWheelRocco  4 года назад

      If you look at the back of your tank where it mounts to the frame you'll see a hole where a self tapper grounds to your frame. They'll be a hole right where the gas tank mounts in the rear of your frame you'll see a hole with a self tapper grounded there from tank. hope this helps. Any questions just ask.

    Hey Rocco, your videos are very helpful. I notice you didn't use any thread sealer or tape on the fuel valve when reinstalling. Your thoughts on this, please?

    • @TwoWheelRocco
      @TwoWheelRocco  Год назад +1

      Happy to help. There is no need for thread sealer, it is a pipe thread so as you tighten it, the seal that's in the petcock does its job. If not, you didn't tighten it enough. Take a close look at it and you will see what I'm talking about. Your Petcock screen acts as the gasket as a seal. let us know how it works out. Thank you for watching and your sub.

    I couldn't hear this very well, but I didn't notice that you were concerned about any residue in the gas that you left inside the tank. While you had the petcock and filter completely out, you could have drained the rest of the gas out of the tank just to see if there was anything else floating around in there.

      Sounds like transmission, With clutch pulled in it should move freely. So your problem is after your clutch. Trans or rear wheel is left to check. Make sure it is not stuck between gears. With your bike on the ground, roll back and forward try to switch gear to neutral. Let me know how that works out.
