Fuel tap leaking
« on: May 18, 2017, 08:01:33 PM »
Hi...mine is a 20mm thread job. With two outlets
Inside is a little nylon cone....

How do I stop it leaking....or how do I replace.

It's driving me nuts and wrecking my floor.
My house smells like a bp garage

Buy a new one, or don't put petrol in it.

For the 750F1 which uses a similar design of tap, albeit with a single outlet, Honda do a repair kit, which has a new nylon mesh cone and the large rubber washer that seals the joint between the tap and tank. The washer is sadly not available as a separate item, only in the kit, which is not particularly cheap.
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

  No Trig, unlike you, I have no issues buying from him, He has invested a lot of money in getting replacement parts made (ie  750F1 caliper bodies) that are otherwise unobtainable and would keep an otherwise good bike off the road!
