A clogged radiator petcock can be cleared by first removing it entirely from the vehicle. It can then be flushed out with water or compressed air until flow is returned.

Fuel filter on a 2005 Harley Davidson XL1200C?

Mine is a 2004 XL1200c, same filter. It sets on top of the petcock in the gas tank. It is a super fine filter and does get clogged with normal use. You do not need to remove the tank, carefull syphen all the gas from the tank. The chrome nut is double threaded, it has resevse threads on each end to mount and dismount the petcock to the tank. Pull the vacume tube from the back of the petcock, pull the gas line from the bottom of the petcock. The Filter is pressed onto the petcock, so after you lower the petcock the first inch, take a fine screwdriver and gently pry the filter from the petcock. Remove the percock, then carefully pull the fuel filter down. It is about 3.5 inches long. I suggest you replace it, not just clean it, Once it's clogged, it will clog again in short duration. Hope this helps.

Why wont the radiator petcock in a 1999 Yukon go back in?

I just ran into this problem. The petcock is plastic and has a metal pin protruding thru the side. This pin rides in a "track" and locks the petcock into place when you put it back in. I broke the pin removing the petcock and had to remove the radiator to repair it. You may be able to do this with the radiator in place. See if you can feel the track and if you replace the pin, you will feel it lock into place when you reinstall the petcock. The pin can only protrude on one side of the petcock so that the petcock will seat correctly. Good luck.

Replace petcock with a properly sized plug Be sure you turned the petcock back in all the way. Try opening and re-closing petcock,may be some trash in it.On mine you have to push in on the petcock and turn it to re-seat it.
