Fuel petcock repairable?
Menno:
Ah, Noelia, too bad I just read this post now. Ik have buckets full of these fuelcocks. If I would have known earlier I would simply have put it in the package with the tank.
Well... if you still need one you can have it.

The magic of the USA Site sohc4.net forum :) Not sure if he didn't measure diameter on the wrong bit of the calipers though. Comments please?
I have some 5mm dia brass, I will make you one .. may take a day or so though.
cheers ... Ash

Just measured the Petcock on my 1974 CB750K4 US model. I cannot see it being different from the 500/550.
The Outside Diameter (O/D) is 5.5mm.
The wall thickness is 0.6mm.
The tube protrudes into the tank for a distance of 64.6mm (at the longest point - its angled).
Cannot measure how far into the body of the Petcock it is inserted as it's brazed in - but if you allow 25mm you won't go wrong and can cut it off later to give you the 64.6mm length you need when finished.
Measured using my cheapo Digital Caliper.
