Thanks everyone again for good humor and welcome chiding! I picked up the HD charger at the shop today and have Astra charging up. After an hour she's showing signs of life again ;-). So THAT'S what that little connector by the frame is for!
Still crazy in Clairemont! On to the next thread of questions!
The MSF is also responsible for hundreds of vacuum operated petcocks leaking because MSF trained riders turn them on and off without questioning why it's necessary.
There are two shutoff systems in the vacuum operated shutoff valve, the diaphragm shutoff, and the manual shutoff. The manual shutoff portion is the same as the old style pectocks.
I have a non vacuum operated petcock, it gets turned off and on every time I ride, the current unit on my bike has been on there for over 20 years. I wonder when it is going to start leaking?
