Title: Xr75
Post by: Woodside on December 14, 2014, 07:39:51 PM

Hi just a stab in the dark
I picked up this little 1975 xr75....
I think ineed a new fuel tap  ...as the one on it keeps letting by no matter where the lever is ...I have put a new rubber in its still the same there must be something else letting by possibly in the body....it has stood for some time
Any thoughts or does anyone know where I can source one ds and cmsl can only help with spares...but I've done that?
Cheers in advance

Look up a universal tap for that. They were only available in the USA so it will be hard to find a tap.

Yeah it's a survivor ...and it has a v5 ......just passed the mot too?
I forgot to say its the fuel tap with one 6mm fixing through the middle not the later bzp (I think that's right) fitting

I think some other small honda taps are similar so maybe someone can tell me if another is compatible

Should have this type >>>  http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-xr75-1976-usa_model853/partslist/F++07.html#results
If this is the right one. One new one available in the states £18.64 all in.

It is number 6 that gives the problem on these taps. I wish 500 and 750 taps were as cheap as this >> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fuel-Valve-Petcock-For-HONDA-XR75-1973-1974-1975-1976-1977-1978-/221570260541?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item33969dde3d

Knowing you, you did not pay a lot for the bike.

Yeah I couldn't turn it down. ....it's a nice little thing and a proper bike to boot not the usual mini bike stuff you see banded about
