Does anyone make new petcock rebuild kits?
« on: May 29, 2008, 06:17:53 AM »
I've got a K1 petcock that's dribbling and I'd like to rebuild it.  Anyone make a kit for that?  Haven't been able to find one.

You can buy the individual o-rings from David Silver.

At least you can for the K2 as I did mine...

Hadn't thought of david silver.  How many O-rings are there?  Anyone got an exploded diagram?

That eBay one is almost the same, but my petcock screws onto the tank with one big nut instead of having screws through it to the tank.  Are the rest of the parts in that auction the same?

EDIT:  Perhaps this isn't a K1 tank (though it came from a K1 bike).  It has the strips on the bottom (the chrome/plastic ones) and the big "Honda" logo on each side, but the petcock screws onto a bung on the tank.  It is not the kind of tank with the square hole and the petcock has two screws that go through it.  Consequently, which petcock is it and where might I find parts to rebuild that particular petcock?

WHALEMAN, that's not quite what mine looks like.  On mine it extends farther back under the tank and has a single downward fuel-line nipple.

Ok, it looks like it's a '75/'76 based on this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-PETCOCK-75-76-CB500-CB550-CB750-NOS-OEM_W0QQitemZ190226100723QQihZ009QQcategoryZ35586QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

So, where can I find the parts to rebuild a '75/'76 petcock?
