I have a 1996 tour glide that has a fuel line leak. Everything I have read says to replace the lines with lines from Goodridge. Does anyone know if these lines come with the check valve built in? I have been told that the check valves are obsolete and are not available. When I put these new lines on, can I remove the check valves that are screwed into the tank?

 

I take it you have a fuel injected bike correct?

 

That is correct

 

Here you go.

Thank you, very helpful website!

 

Check valves are part of sealing the tank fittings, you will know if the are not in there, she will be a leaker

 

I know that Harley started offering Fuel Injection on touring bikes in 1995, but I did not know that they offered it on the Tour Glide since they would be discontinuing the model. Interesting.

 

I know this is old, but I'm having the same problem with 97 Electra glide w/efi. Took tank off to change intake gaskets (those still leak too) and now both in and out fuel line is leak. Replaced the tiny o-rings, the out check valve. It just gets worse. Back to this thread's original question: do the good ridge lines have check valves built in?

 

No, the check valves screws into the tank with their O rings to the smaller top threaded channels, then you have the hose fitting that screws up against the bottom of them them using the larger threaded channel on the bottom of the tank.
As for trick if you are getting the hose fitting leaking since the upper check valve O rings are not sealing, use teflon tape on the hose fitting as your threading it into the tank. Hence had this problem as I was trying to find a tool to pull the check valves to replace their O rings, then finally just ground down the back end of a tea spoon handle to make a wide enough tool to pull the check valves to replace their O rings (crescent wrench on the flat of the tea spoon to give me the needed torque).

The down side, until you do get the check valves to seal, fuel pump is going to make a little more noise since the fuel is making it way back past the check valves.



Check valves that install in the tank upper threaded channels of the bungs first for supply and return ( match the flow of the fuel, so two different ones), before the hose fitting is threaded in below them in the bungs larger threads, and what the top of the hose connector seals off against.

 

Thanks for your reply. Very helpful. I've had both check valves out and back in. The out- valve is new. No in-valves I could find anywhere. I think the valves are the problem. Although I've been messing with it so much I think the swivel under the nut is leaking now too. Goodridge lines are in my future. If there's no limit to the pookie I can put on those and the fuel line threads, I'll try teflon tape and whatever else to get a good seal. I like the spoon tool idea. I ground down an old can opener and used that. . . . Now I need to find the thread about why my intake gaskets are still letting air in after three tries. . . .
