'00 M750 running rough

[bdfinally]

Well drained everything, threw a gallon of gas with 1 1/2 oz of seafoam in it and she cranked and ran like a champ to the gas store for a full tank. Pull the cap off and found this



the vent and drain had some crud in top of them, clean them out and ran about 6 inches of 22 ga steel wire down both. Would a couple of dabbs of silicone keep that rubber boot in place or does the cap when closed, push it down?

Is that water i spy in the middle there?

[bdfinally]

 

No, it's leaned over on the sidestand, I think your just seeing the light from my flash entering in a weird way

[junior varsity]

i was wondering what that circular substance in the middle was. I'll be... its a reflection.

If I had a bald coconut I'd cop a plea, but nope, still got some rug up there

Do you have a charcoal canister?

I thought not.

Throw that rubber thing away.

If you have an air compressor, or access to one, blow through the cap area drain to make sure it is clear.

The other one which used to go to the charcoal canister doesn't amount to squat.

Glad you're back on the road!  Got a pic of the tank graphics?  I'm intrigued.

That's one of those early DP tanks.

There was a series with a bunch of different designs.

Wow I remember those!  Blast from the past.  I recall crapping a pickle when I found out how much they were.

I entertained the thought of going for a regular dark tank when I got the bike, just because it sits outside, but the Dark was actually MORE expensive .

You'll occasionally see one come up for sale on ebay still.

Sweet!  And so clean!  Mine looks like a filthy ogre that lives in an oil-filled swamp.
