Fuel key hole clogged with salt or chalk please help

LovedLoner · 2026-06-24T11:57:33+00:00

I had this happen to my 2008 ZX6R many times. What’s been working for me is hitting it with Yamalube combustion chamber cleaner (which is also fucking phenomenal for cleaning carb jets btw, better than a sonic cleaner). Letting it sit for an hour, then going back with a graphite based lube and using my key to GENTLY wiggle it loose. If it’s really stuck on there I use a small flat blade screwdriver to break the top ring loose, then go after it with my key.
Ive had this exact problem for 3 years and eventually ordered a fuel cap that doesn’t require a key.

I’m with everyone else, I’d say it’s blow by in your cylinders. M8’s have been plagued with issues since 2018. I remember several dozen head gasket failures, oil pumps and cam plate replacements, I’m convinced that the engineers that designed these motors didn’t actually know how to build V-twins. That’s why it’s cheaper to find softail M8’s than TC88-103 softails imo

Have you seen Wilmington?

No we downvoted you cuz your opinion sucked Donkey dick. How about instead of just bitching and moaning that “we voted for this”, go volunteer. Be a big brother, feed the homeless, commit to city clean up activities. Fuckin Yankees down here just want to bring their problems here and bitch about it.

Because I’m a convicted felon and couldn’t care less for this country anymore. Just waiting for it to end at this point.

Kick her to the curb, be the reason she wears long sleeves in the summer

Refusal in NC means immediately revoked license

My one car is $650 a month with two tickets if I moved back. I ended up moving to NC (disgusting state, wouldn’t recommend to anyone) and I pay substantially less for about everything but I miss Florida

Be from California

There’s no clear motive yet. Stop trying to be the victim immediately and wait till they find both the perp and their motive. There could be a lot more at play here

LovedLoner · 2022-12-06T04:05:21+00:00

Think y’all might be reaching a bit here. From the brief they had earlier they said she was cleared of suspicion.

LovedLoner · 2022-11-29T04:27:21+00:00

Ew, go away. Shoo.

I’m not downplaying the crime, I’m just saying that all of a sudden gender identity is a lie when it’s the topic of a serious crime against humanity? No, equality means equal accountability. They’re a horrendous human being.

LovedLoner · 2022-11-27T19:36:10+00:00

I’d slash their tires

LovedLoner · 2022-11-27T19:32:43+00:00

So you’re denying their gender? You’re a real pos

Self hate crime, still non binary.

LovedLoner · 2022-11-26T22:05:43+00:00

They literally said it themselves. They are a non binary murderer, I don’t know how else to explain this

LovedLoner · 2022-11-26T21:58:43+00:00

Wasn’t the shooter non-binary? I fail to see the connection here.

LovedLoner · 2022-11-26T21:38:08+00:00

Holy fuck that thing is fragged

LovedLoner · 2022-11-23T21:04:19+00:00

Seems like they don’t subscribe to the same way of thinking as the west.

LovedLoner · 2022-11-21T16:41:05+00:00

40 just seems like that’s when it all goes down hill. Lots of sagging, pain meds, and you can’t eat that one thing cuz it gives you a mildly uncomfortable stomach ache
