Kyle...I just pulled my petcock...I didn't see a plastic sceen above the
petcock. Does it stay in the tank?
I cleaned my fuel screen (inside the petcock), replaced the O ring and put it
back on. Now my bike starts for awhile and then dies under load or all by
itself after a short time. Any Ideas? I'm wondering if its not getting enought
fuel for some reason.

With mine I went to Ace hardware and bought rubber stoppers. I drilled a hole
thru the middle of them and put a bolt nut and washers thru it with the end of
the bolt and the nut sticking out the top, that way I could hold the bolt with
some pliers and tighten the nut to compress the stopper in place. The small one
for the petcock I just shoved in there.
Another trick is a heat gun or old blow dryer to help evaporate the fuel.
Also, don't forget to pull the plastic screen that sits above the straw for
the petcock, if you seal that up you're gonna have a bad time.

Hi group! I bought the Kreem kit to seal my tank. The directions specify to
drill small holes on either side of the gas hole, put gasket materila over, and
then a piece of metal or wood which is then screwed down to seal the tank. (For
a Nighthawk it would be one additional hole since there are two already to bolt
down the gas cap). They say not to use ducktape of course.
My question is: Is there another way to seal the gas tank hole without
drilling another hole?
I have heavy gasket material and I thought that if I put a jar lid over
that and then taped it down with ducktape it would work. (The duck tape would
no be in direct contact with the tank contents then.)
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
