A couple of questions on the kill switch and gas shut off valve

[jon321]

Well my first question is,the gas shut off valve. I just replaced the o-ring and that smiley faced washer inside of the gas valve, now when i took out the two screws holding on the valve lever there was this really thin metal washer,Does the metal washer go in front of the handle that turns the fuel off and on or does it go inside of the valve where i put the o-ring? Im pretty sure it goes in front of the shut off lever ,but i dont know . I never took one of these apart till today and forgot where that dam metal washer should go. Also how tight should the 2 little screws be that holds the valve lever on , i snugged them up and it took some effort to turn the valve handle.

 

Those two little screws ,how tight should they be?

 

 

 

 

As for the kill switch it is a Pro Design brand and the ground wire is grounded to the chassis but there is another black little wire that is about 2 feet in length coming from the kill switch with exposed wire at the end of it, where should that wire go?

 

 

Thanks

i cant help you on the petcock ordeal, but the other wire for your kill switch goes to the coil. splice it into the orange wire. the coil is what your spark plug boots are attached to.

My kill switch is a ground switch and the other wire goes to the Black/White wire on the CDI.

It goes in front of the lever.

 

With the screw make sure you put a dab of Blue lock tight on them, then screw them down till they bottom out then a good 1/4 turn more and your good to go.

a bit of vaseline, or premix oil on the o-ring and washer will help it turn easier. if you are running an aftermarket cdi, use the black/white wire to attatch, instead of the coil. a good spot to connect is where the tors controll box plugs in under the gas tank....

I got the gas valve to rotae smoothly and got the kill switch all dialed in ,
