I'll give this a try, thanks! Any idea where it is that this excess liquid is hiding?

I've got a leak in the front left corner of my gas tank. I need to take it to a shop to have it patched but first I need to completely drain the tank. I've already drained most of the gas from the tank from the petcock. There still remains a small amount of gas/water in the tank. When I roll it...

Thanks to you both- especially you dirtdigger. I managed to find a 'one size smaller' o-ring and popped that bad boy on the neutral switch and dunked the whole thing in lubricating oil. Switch snugged right in, stayed in place and voila we are back in business. Neutral indicator is working as...

OK- I have good news! It was a combination of issues. The old switch is in fact faulty. While it was in the bike, the continuity test yielded weird results- the needle was hopping all over and only lost continuity when the ball was depressed to the extreme. Additionally, the O-ring that was on...

Well. Bummer. I'll check continuity while it's in the bike and see what the meter reads. I just find it hard to believe that the shift drum can be so worn on an engine that allegedly has only 20k miles on it. There isn't any kind of alignment I need to do of the drum, correct?

So, I took the new switch out so I could beat on the old one if it came to it. Since they are reading the same in my "out of the bike" continuity test, I figure the same results should be expected when they are "in the bike." Anyway- took the o-ring off and it definitely went in further than I...

Hrm. Great tip- now that you mention it, the retention clip is at a bit of an angle. Any tip on 'encouraging' the switch to travel further into the case? The exposed surface of the switch appears to be of some kind of softer than metal material- ceramic? Either way- I'm hesitant to smack it with...

Is there a sure fire way to determine if the switch is in all the way? Based on visual comparison, I'd say the new switch is in about as far as the old one was before I removed it. Then again, the old one wasn't working either. Is replacing the shift drum even an option anymore, if so, is it...

Bought a '76 CB750F from a guy who had done most of the restoration work. It's marginal work but the bike looks great and runs pretty well as well. Just minor things remain. One of those things is a Neutral Indicator that is always on, regardless of Neutral or In-Gear. Seller claimed it just...
