ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    Fuel door release?

    This morning I stopped to get gas and the release for the fuel door would not open. I eventually had to pry it open with my key...luckily nothing broke. Last weekend when I washed it I opened the fuel door a sprayed in there with the pressure washer. I wonder if that messed it up. Has anyone had this problem or does anyone know what I should do to fix it?

    No.....

    there is a clip on the inside that is acutated when you pull the lever...

    bend that out a little i believe....BUT not to MUCH...just a tad bit....

    that should fix it.

    And next time it happens...wedge something under the release lever and try taping the door or using a dime or something so u dont scratch the paint etc...

      I bet you knocked the metal clip off of the fuel door when you sprayed inside there. You can get a brand new one for 1.50 from the honda dealership. That's what it cost me here. Or go to your local pick and pull and get one there.

      When I got my cb7, I didn't know anything about the metal clip (this is my first Honda) so I messed up my fuel door trying to find out why it wouldn't pop open. GRRR.

        you might just need to re aline the two bolts and just tight them up
