Hi,

I accidentally punctured gas line next to gas filter. The bike was stopped and I was installing gas tank back on.
The gas did not stop from flowing out. I can see some on and off markings on petcock. I guess is turned to ON.
This is a 92' ABS model and I guess gas should not flow with engine stopped. Correct? Is petcock ok?
Thanks

That sounds right, I think there is only 2 positions on them Prime and off.
So gas will flow with engine off, if there is a leak in the hose.


When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
