Petcock Block. ;-)
« on: May 28, 2020, 05:42:50 PM »
Hello,

I have a cb350f that has a non oem petcock that has 2 feed lines and the 350f only requires 1 fuel line from the petcock to the carbs.  The PO had blocked one of the petcock barbs off with a cap that was not gas impervious and it is now leaking.  What have you guys done in a situation like this?  I tried a small piece of fuel line with a bolt in the end and it weeps some (maybe I need to try a different bolt).  If there was a 5.5mm fuel line Y (2 females to a male) I could use both lines and not worry about blocking one off.    Thoughts??

I got a better bolt that fits into the fuel line pigtail, so I think I got this.

A bolt with plain part under head works better than setscrew
