Thanks for watching! Definitely a quick fix.

Best advice my father ever gave me was you'll never know what not to do until you do it. Love your vids

Beer always makes projects like that more fun

Damn that bike is so clean it looks like its still in the show room =D

Very cool chick!!! Thanx for sharing fam 😇👍👏

So glad to see your not smoking!

Ok so, here's the deal, I totally was not going to commit whatsoever....but your "lessons learned" face made me do it. That said, here's my comment, as a proud father of a new to me first harley-davidson (16sportster 48) THANK YOU FOR RECORDING THIS "Dorothy" I call her is only 5000mils old and am completely sure this info will come in handy...some day. Thanks again

You'r doing great... I love your garagevideos!!!

Love watching these bike work videos. 8:48 lol

Good job on the check valve, just did this on my 08 roadglide also had to do fuel line prong as well, much easier with tank off.

Hey thanks! Yup every job is another learning experience.

Try putting vaseline on the o-rings, easy to apply using a q-tip. That usually seals things very well, makes installation easier, and is inexpensive.

Vaseline is a petroleum based product and contributes to destroying the integrity of the o-rings. A good substitute is vegetable oil or silicone spray. I personally use a product designed for lubing o-rings.

Luv your vids ....

Wow, just try to stay safe, worried about all that gas open, glad it appears your doing your best.

Nice job almost 👍 got it .

Great job on the rebuild the check valve. Sorry that didn't fix it all the way. But now you know for sure. They probably both needed done to begin with. Got to get me one of those rolling chairs. Be good and be safe!!

Yep, ethanol fuel wreaks havoc on rubber seals and lines. Tip, you need to use Viton O-rings.

Good job on the vid and the fact that you work on your own, kudos. I know this vid was over a year ago, however, fuel tool makes the tool to help replace that rebuild kit so you don't need to remove your tank. Also, ya gotta lube the o-rings when you put them back. Just a thought, you may have damaged the o-rings as you put them in.

Not by the bell, but by the call of the hart. BTW old sportster is more interesting than a modern one

When I put them in I have a Snap On brand, socket 1/4 drive 3/16 that is almost 1an1/4 long. Oil the rings and push them in with the drive end of the socket. Top one first, then the larger diameter second, works great.. if you have an inspection mirror, you can leave the tank on the bike.theres no fuel in my valve unless the pump is running, it's a good idea to take out the fuel pump fuse when repairing fuel troubles..

I watched a couple of her videos.. there is one or two mechanics Off camera. Daughter of Tim the tool man. Cute 🥰. Laughing.

Nice ;

Good luck!

Those pointed tools okay to remove the o rings, BUT not to put new in, they can nick o ring and cause leak. Us a really small flat head screwdriver. Type for model building or any type for precision work. Good video.

Push start in 2nd, not first.

You have two options when fixing something beth. If u can't doit properly makeshift method tape it. K2 Sealent is good

I’ve got welding books you can borrow. I’ve also got a welder to use. If your going to go to school for it. Don’t go to eastland. They use their graduate high schoolers with very little on hands knowledge. If you buy materials metal/welding rods. I can show you.

Hey Sister, I don't know what to do now. My check valve leaks too, on my 2016 Switchback so after watching me some KZread, I have a 2008 883 too, so you know two birds with one stone right to save myself some time I'm taking a look at you doing your thing, GREAT!! But after I ordered the tool kit for the removal and replacement tools of the O-rings ( $98 for tools $11 for the O-rings) I see you did n uses a $98 kit, but you steal have a leak, so what do you think, maybe you put a hole in the O-ring with your tools or was it something else? Please keep up the Good work and have FUN, I am. Oh, and the Sportster's only problem is the Neutral light for now.

I still had a small leak because I needed to replace both the fuel line and the check valve sides o rings. I used pick tools from harbor freight. They worked fine. No issues. Issue was I needed ANOTHER o ring on the fuel line side that connects to the check valve. Hope this helps. Fuel tool parts I used were MC 300 and MC 600-5 (these are the viton o rings needed to replace the fuel lines o ring). That was my issue. Good luck!

Link to check valve rebuild kit?

You are the only BETH I know and so I always think of the song Beth by Kiss. Has anyone else ever said this to you.? hee hee What do you think of your Flag I made you in my last MotoVid.? Not a cool as the two new Logo you have, I see. I have already watched this video but came here today to invite you to an on-line MotoEvent Sis. (smiles)
