    Funny thing, I was taking my fuel line off today and the nipple came out of the petcock. I didn't know they just pressed in there. Maybe its not pressed in all the way. Hopefully It will just be the line. Good luck.
    You can press them back in with a little super glue on the nipple to hold it in the petcock.

        Worked on it this weekend to find it was just a clamping problem around the nipple. The spring clamp was broke, but still sitting there.

        In the time I was degreasing and rinsing off, I had some near heart failure.

        I sprayed the degreaser on, let it sit for the 15 minutes and hosed it off. Went to turn the bike on to add in drying as per instructions and absolutely no lights or power of any type. Huffed and Puffed for a bit, connected battery charger, it showed charged.

        Went to Dinner with friends, came back a few hours later after I had time to cool off and think clearly. Fuse was loose. Guess its time to install the Fuse Block I purchased from TC.

        Thank you for all your suggestions.
