Here's a tip that may save you some grief later: There's an o-ring and a nylon filter "sleeve" that fits down over the brass tube and seats down in the body of the petcock. It's a press fit kind of an assembly and is held in place by the same large nut that holds the petcock to the tank.
Make sure that's in place before you insert the tube into the tank fitting, then push the whole assembly up into the tank with your thumbs (fitting looks like a piece of threaded pipe). Also make sure the petcock is square to the tank and facing you when you do this, so it doesn't require twisting the assembly back and forth to get it aligned properly, after you've started snugging the big nut. If you have to twist the petcock back and forth to align it, you risk tearing, shredding or twisting the nylon filter, like the previous owner did to mine (!) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
