Leaking Petcock and Carbs

<< < (3/4) > >>

Just a tip, if it’s like the 500/4 tap, I find a bit of (lithium in my case) grease on both sides of the spring washer prevents the lever getting stiff to turn.

ColinHH:
Thanks all.
Problem solved. It was the two fibre washers holding the fuel tap to the tank. I've put standard fibre washers in for the short term whilst I await delivery for the OEM part.

Bryan,

You were lucky.  New washers didn't work for me.  I had to re-face the tap body where those screws tighten down onto as they had corroded to the point the washers could stop the leak.  All good now on the 51 year old petrol tap now though.

Just for the benefit of others who are still wondering why they still leak.....

Cheers,

Jerry

Yeah, it's always the simple, but not necessarily obvious, things! Mine is only a baby at 48yrs old.
