Hello Everyone:
Last summer I purchased a 91 Vulcan 750 with 24k miles after 15 years of not having a bike. I Love the bike. It had a hard time starting, would backfire once in a while. I sent the bike to a local shop. Here's what he found. Rust in the gas tank, and in the carbs. He cleaned the tank, full serviced the carbs, removed cleaned and replaced the petcock. The bike seems to run great. I had asked him to install an in-line fuel filter to try to keep some of the crap out fo the carbs. He said there was no room. Has enyone installed an in-line fuel filter? and if so, where did you install it so it fits in the bike? Do you think it's a good idea to try to get an in-line fuel filter installed? I also plan on removing the tank myself, and doing one of those inside tank coating kits. Has anyone had luck with those kits, and which one do you recomend?
Thanks in advance. I love this site.
