fuel cap wont close
Hi i cant seem to be able to get the pin to the fuel cap to shoot back out so that it will close. Sounds stupid but i remember a couple of people saying they done it. What was the easiest method. Cheers

I pulled mine out with a pair of needle nose pliers as I had a sliver still showing. Then I greased it up and that fixed it. If it's all the way in I'm not sure.

To re-iterate what's been suggested here:
It probably won't pop back out because it's jammed with dirt. Get some cleaner(PB, WD, yadda) and spray it in there. Jiggling the lever never hurt either.
Once you've gotten the pin free be sure to clean it well and grease it with lightweight lube or grease of some sort to prevent this in the future.
