Cb550 fuel tap leaking

(1/3) > >>

beardylondon:
Hello,

The fuel tap I have on the bike has started leaking, not sure if the seals are replaceable? It looks new, and I was given a receipt for one when I bought the bike. Maybe it’s a cheap one!?

Please can someone point me in the right direction of a good fuel tap for CB550 1976 US import.

Weirdly on David Silver there’s no image, and it’s £61!!!

Thanks in advance

Bryanj:
It gets a bit complicated on those models as tanks easily interchange, early ones had same as 500 and 750 with two screws holding tap to tank inside the removable filter bowl and these are rebuildable then there are two different threaded boses on the tank plus either one or two outlet spigots, these are not rebuildable and very expensive to get if available.
At least with Silver if it turns out wrong he will accept returns

beardylondon:
Thanks for the reply, this is the fuel tap after removing it

DomP:
I bought a decent replacement tap for my 550f from Ebay, it's serviceable but single outlet if that matters to you buy looking at yours you can fix it.

Bryanj:
You will find it difficult to get spares for that, maybe a generic O ring under the plate but that will be it but get viton to cope with ethanol.
From memory and dont quote me i think the threaded bosses are 16mm or 20mm
