Re: hello from the ok
Welcome AJ.
I spilled the gas all over the tank, the engine and the ground on my first fillup. My third one, too. You'll get better. I can top that thing off right up to the lip now.
Here's some other stuff to add to the fillup routine:
1) reset the trip odometer (it's basically the GZ gas gauge)
2) make sure your fuel switch is set back to "not-on-reserve" (On?) (the "long" part pointing forward.)
It's worth a few minutes to study this switch, understand the meaning of the three positions, and be able to put your clutch hand right on it while going down the highway without having to think or feel around. Common early problem is the switch is left in "reserve" so when you run out, you are O-U-T out and walking. Also, I have run out of the regular tank several times on the freeway. If you switch it to reserve right off, it will fire right back up with just a modest drop in speed.
There's pictures of it on here somewhere.
