Petcock

I took off the carbs from the bike and one of them is dry, it doesn't get any gas so I decided to check on the fuel petcock (I'll check the carb float needle later).
The Petcock is in good shape except the bowl that I can't unscrew.
I dremel a cut to unscrew it with a screwdriver but the bowl just cracked open :S
seems that the only way to get the bowl off will be to dremel a cut trough it's width.

Now i have to re build the bowl with my favorite material : Plunber pipes and fitting ! :)
Works pretty well.


New Project !

I got this Suzuki GT 550 Indy from 1973 for 400$ !!!

3 Cylinders, 2 strokes, 4 exhausts and lots of fun !

She's in pretty good shape but needs a good cleaning and tune up.
Let's start with the fuel line, petcock and carbs, then I'll check the lubrication system (wich is kinda messy on this bike).
