Cb550 fuel tap leaking

<< < (2/3) > >>

Johnny4428:
You can get the seal and filter kit for the tap connection, where it screws onto tank that is. I have three of these on different bikes where I have sort of “nursed” them to keep them from weeping fuel. Someone one here had a go at getting the plastic/nylon bit in the centre made on a 3d printer, can’t remember the outcome, don’t think it was too successful.

Thanks All

Thanks Dom, I'm not bothered about having a reserve tap, so a single outlet would be great. Please could you point me in the direction of the type you purchased from ebay, as I see there are a few different ones!

My Dad is going to try and lap the taper in the alley part of the tap, he thinks that might fix it.

The twin outlet is for the two carb feeds I don't think it has anything to do with the reserve position.
