Fuel shutoff
06-28-08
Some HD models have the old style manual fuel shutoff. A few models w/fat bob tanks have the shutoff to the rear (near the seat) of left tank. Unforetunately, the coil w/twin plug leads are within an inch or so from said valve. I had torn down the bike and reassembled same. The tfe tape on the threads (shutoff valve) was a perfect wick to the wires and coil. Luckily, I noted the loose fitting/raw fuel on my jeans AND I had a new, tight electrical. I caught all this at 80+- mph. It could have been kaboom. Always check and double check your fuel lines, fittings, etc. I THOUGHT I had. Good riding.
