Leaky fuel tap

(1/3) > >>

Athame57:
It looks like I've got a leaky fuel tap, experiment ahead. With fuel line off the tap was dripping even in the off position. Can a fuel tap actually be fixed though, paying more then £70.00 for a US spec one I'd prefer to avoid.

Oddjob:
Depends on the type of tap.

Post a pic, some can be dismantled and some are riveted shut.

Skoti:
Because the correct rubber washer was not being listed as a separate item on CMS, I instead managed to order a genuine Honda rubber valve washer from a local Honda Power Sports dealer. (sells lawn mowers and generators etc)

Beware of fitting cheapo Fleabay crap, many of them are not ethanol proof.

good luck

Not sure which fuel tap you have in your 400 I assume it is.
I tried one off e-bay it was the wrong sized tank boss.

I used the DS strainer repair kit - they supply two O rings to fit instead of one in the body iirc - looking at the picture that may have changed .
My issue was mainly the filter pick up pipe  that had fallen to bits - the boss was also leaking.

It is this part from DSS, described as the USA F2 type because I needed that to be compatible with the tank I got from them. https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/parts/by-part-number/partnumber_16950KCPJ01/
