False tank reconstruction...

[RogueCreature]

Yesterday I broke down a bit more than I had to when replacing throttle cables....now im trying to reassemble everything. i had thought that it was good idea to remove the lid from the false tank; i thought it needed to be done, it wasnt until after the fact i realized thats not the case...

so im trying to put the lid back on the false tank. that slide is a pain. if anyone has a moment can they take a picture of the inside of the lid?

From what I gather, I should have the lid reconnected then drop the fuel gauge back in place. but the slider with the cotter pin giving me troubles

the arrow points to what i need picture of. any advise for the cotter pin? (id like to see it assembled and then see if i can see where the washer goes. i know the plastic washer goes over the end and then cotter gets inserted there.

yea, stuck at this point unfortunately was not thinking to take a picture at the time. seemed simple enough ; think again!

thank you. i think you solved the mystery....plastic goes on, washer goes on, then cotter through the metal.

Yup, I had the same situation when trying to put the doors back on my GL1200 shelter. I HAD taken photos of how it went together- but that was about 3 cell phones ago. I ended up resorting to parts fiches and hi-res photos of shelters on Ebay.

ahh. I didnt think to check Ebay. good call. anyway, got the throttle cables on. got the false tank on. after sitting for 8 months she took about 2 mins of choke and revving but she fired and is driving. its good to be riding again just need to transfer the title get new plates and im good to go.
