I was gasin' up the Grizz today and a pine needle went right into the tank. It was dead and the tank was almost full. Now, I don't know how to get the needle out. I considered not worrying about it, but I know that sure as s#!t it will get stuck in the fuel line when I am out on a long ride. What should I do??? Drain the tank and try to find it? not worry about it until it kills the Grizz? Dang it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

I wouldnt worry about it.

If you wanted to ,,,,just take the tank off.

 

Maybe you could siphon a little gas off the top. Hopefully the pine needle will be floating around enough to grab it.

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

My thoughts exactly.

 

Drain the gas and then get it out.

 

...good thing that in nature the same thing doesnt apply lol

 

The thin mesh screen should catch this but if your worried about it get one of those long neck 12 to 20 inch finger operated mechanist craftsmen flexible pinchers when the tank is low or empty and grab that offending needle.

 

Is that what they are called? I thought of those, but couldn't remember what they were called and I figured a whatchamacallit wouldn't have worked[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

A lot of items I have I don't know what to call them either.

 

i wouldnt worry about it...our scrammy 400 has all kinds of dirt and rocks on the bottom of the gas tank and still hasnt cuzed any problems. thats why they have fuel filters
