Ok so, here's the deal, I totally was not going to commit whatsoever....but your "lessons learned" face made me do it. That said, here's my comment, as a proud father of a new to me first harley-davidson (16sportster 48) THANK YOU FOR RECORDING THIS "Dorothy" I call her is only 5000mils old and am completely sure this info will come in handy...some day. Thanks again
Vaseline is a petroleum based product and contributes to destroying the integrity of the o-rings. A good substitute is vegetable oil or silicone spray. I personally use a product designed for lubing o-rings.
Oh hi BBB Just got home from a ride This weekend we had great weather,way too hot for December haha but I ain't complaining,got some more riding haha Aight,will watch soon 🖤 covering my bike now,cold rainy days incoming
Great job on the rebuild the check valve. Sorry that didn't fix it all the way. But now you know for sure. They probably both needed done to begin with. Got to get me one of those rolling chairs. Be good and be safe!!
When I put them in I have a Snap On brand, socket 1/4 drive 3/16 that is almost 1an1/4 long. Oil the rings and push them in with the drive end of the socket. Top one first, then the larger diameter second, works great.. if you have an inspection mirror, you can leave the tank on the bike.theres no fuel in my valve unless the pump is running, it's a good idea to take out the fuel pump fuse when repairing fuel troubles..
Good job on the vid and the fact that you work on your own, kudos. I know this vid was over a year ago, however, fuel tool makes the tool to help replace that rebuild kit so you don't need to remove your tank. Also, ya gotta lube the o-rings when you put them back. Just a thought, you may have damaged the o-rings as you put them in.
Those pointed tools okay to remove the o rings, BUT not to put new in, they can nick o ring and cause leak. Us a really small flat head screwdriver. Type for model building or any type for precision work. Good video.
Hey Sister, I don't know what to do now. My check valve leaks too, on my 2016 Switchback so after watching me some UA-cam, I have a 2008 883 too, so you know two birds with one stone right to save myself some time I'm taking a look at you doing your thing, GREAT!! But after I ordered the tool kit for the removal and replacement tools of the O-rings ( $98 for tools $11 for the O-rings) I see you did n uses a $98 kit, but you steal have a leak, so what do you think, maybe you put a hole in the O-ring with your tools or was it something else? Please keep up the Good work and have FUN, I am. Oh, and the Sportster's only problem is the Neutral light for now.
I still had a small leak because I needed to replace both the fuel line and the check valve sides o rings. I used pick tools from harbor freight. They worked fine. No issues. Issue was I needed ANOTHER o ring on the fuel line side that connects to the check valve. Hope this helps. Fuel tool parts I used were MC 300 and MC 600-5 (these are the viton o rings needed to replace the fuel lines o ring). That was my issue. Good luck!
I’ve got welding books you can borrow. I’ve also got a welder to use. If your going to go to school for it. Don’t go to eastland. They use their graduate high schoolers with very little on hands knowledge. If you buy materials metal/welding rods. I can show you.
You are the only BETH I know and so I always think of the song Beth by Kiss. Has anyone else ever said this to you.? hee hee What do you think of your Flag I made you in my last MotoVid.? Not a cool as the two new Logo you have, I see. I have already watched this video but came here today to invite you to an on-line MotoEvent Sis. (smiles)
Basically......Cause I do what I want. Pronunciation isn’t always the same for everyone. I know there’s always a “proper” way to say things but I pronounce it how I wanted it to sound.
@@dalewood7047 no your good! Sorry if my response came across grouchy.... my fiancé said the same thing to me when I first named her haha Tomato/tomATO. 😝
Best advice my father ever gave me was you'll never know what not to do until you do it.
Love your vids
Old video, but still relevant. Having to do this to the wife's bike. Good breakdown.
Thanks for watching! Definitely a quick fix.
Beer always makes projects like that more fun
best video on the subject. thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Damn that bike is so clean it looks like its still in the show room =D

Try putting vaseline on the o-rings, easy to apply using a q-tip. That usually seals things very well, makes installation easier, and is inexpensive.

So glad to see your not smoking!
Yep, ethanol fuel wreaks havoc on rubber seals and lines. Tip, you need to use Viton O-rings.
Yup! I already order em.
Wow, just try to stay safe, worried about all that gas open, glad it appears your doing your best.

Good job on the check valve, just did this on my 08 roadglide also had to do fuel line prong as well, much easier with tank off.
Hey thanks! Yup every job is another learning experience.
Great video
Not by the bell, but by the call of the hart.
BTW old sportster is more interesting than a modern one
Nice job almost 👍 got it .
So close! Have to wait for the last o rings for the fuel line side. No local dealerships had one I could quickly pickup.
@@BikerBabeBeth yep way it goes waiting on parts

Pick at it til it comes out, like a booger! 😂😂 man I need that stool!!! Great job !
Thanks! Definitely happened randomly so thought I might as well show people how I fixed it!
@@BikerBabeBeth best way to do it! 🤘
🤘😂
Love watching these bike work videos. 8:48 lol
Keep the positive attitude 👍🏻👍🏻🤟🏻
Always!!! Even when shit hits the fan. Like my baby leaking fuel 🤪
@@BikerBabeBeth 😉🤟🏻👍🏻
Very cool chick!!! Thanx for sharing fam 😇👍👏
Judge me in the comments it’s fine I like it 😂😂👊
My typical level of SASSINESS. 💁🏼♀️
🤘😘

You'r doing great... I love your garagevideos!!!
Nice work.

Off camera.
Daughter of Tim the tool man.
Cute 🥰. Laughing.
Becky, another great video
Good luck!
All fixed up now. Even took a ride with her yesterday! No more leaks.
@@BikerBabeBeth super glad to hear that, it was beautiful here in wv yesterday
Push start in 2nd, not first.
Nice ;
You have two options when fixing something beth. If u can't doit properly makeshift method tape it. K2 Sealent is good
First of all i love you
2nd of all i have the same bike and same problem
I'd much rather have an Ironhead than that newer Sportster.

Vaseline on the O-rings
Got to love the Ohio riding
Yeah, gotta say; I don’t like much about Ohio but it does offer some nice motorcycle roads
Why replace the metal and spring ? Just curious
I’ve got welding books you can borrow.
I’ve also got a welder to use.
If your going to go to school for it.
Don’t go to eastland. They use their graduate high schoolers with very little on hands knowledge.

....
Cute smile lol
Link to check valve rebuild kit?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Has there ever been a time where your bike wouldn’t start and left you stranded
Luckily, so far, no. I always try to check on a few basics before most rides to help ensure that doesn’t happen.
🤘😘
What size o ring?
Next investment may be a bike table believe me with th money
Oh yeah, I plan on getting one eventually. I need some more patreons to help me afford that! 🤣
This is a genuine question why do you keep calling your bike odaysa when it's name is odessa?
Basically......Cause I do what I want. Pronunciation isn’t always the same for everyone. I know there’s always a “proper” way to say things but I pronounce it how I wanted it to sound.
@@BikerBabeBeth ok sorry if my question sounded off I thought maybe there was a reason for the way you say it again sorry there was no malice
@@dalewood7047 no your good! Sorry if my response came across grouchy.... my fiancé said the same thing to me when I first named her haha
Tomato/tomATO. 😝
Girl your soundtrack is annoying otherwise you showed the way and made my day!
Sorry, but music makes the video better.
Beautifull girl 😍
