Okay, give me heck, but I forgot...
Okay. The '58 is coming out of storage after (how long?) So, which way does
the gas tank switch turn for main and for reserve? It's in the middle (off) now. I hope Joey answers first. -- cringing, waiting for the stinging blow - john |

Z for "zu" or "closed" A for "auf" or "open" R for "reserve" the 3 positions of the fuel lever, at 12 o'clock, 1:30 and 3:00 respectively. Unless you have a pre '53 split, then its 9:00, 12:00, 3:00). now in all honesty that is not from my head, which has limited knowledge on older vehicles....but thankfully Micah had the same problem with the car...<G> http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...d63 9e6d01b47 |

Really! 1/2 turn. > now in all honesty that is not from my head, which has limited knowledge > on older vehicles....but thankfully Micah had the same problem with the > car...<G> Yah! And ya know this is Micah's ride! What say we drag him out and feed him full of beer and 'fess up to this mystery! If he doesn't show up, it's just us. Seriously, Chris. The thing only goes from 12'oclock to 12'30. I'm gonna just guess that 12' is the tank, 12:15 is off, and 12'30 is reserve. That's the way my '56 Harley worked. Anywho, I'll ride it out of storage as soon as I get a new battery tommorw. If I totally **** up with my guess, I'll buy the next round. Good to know you are there, Man. John |

The GTII is fine, now. The engine ain't. It had a regular backfire at under 2K RPM from day-one. Still does. When/If I ever find some time I'll do a compression test. |

Mine ('59 stock) only goes from 12 to 12'15; 12' is open 12'15 is reserve 12'07 (ish) is closed. Hth Roger |

Mine turns closer to 12:20, but we are close enough. Thanks for that. I'm sure they are the same. Say, didn't John Henry make some replicas of the plate that goes over the lever? Can't find a reference right now. |
