Topic: Cb550k older fuel vale with round bowl.....

[L.A. Nomad........]

I have a older gas tank on my CB550K, the kind with a Round fuel bowl. The fuel valve is leaky, are the o-rings just bad? Could I use common size o-rings to fix it? Or do I have to order a special o-ring set?

I ask this before, I drain my tank and pull the tank off!

Thanx guys!

hey eddie, i've used common o-rings and haven't had any problems yet.

Depends on where the leak is.  If it's leaking from the bowl or from where the petcock mounts to the tank, you can use standard o-rings.  If it's leaking from the selector lever, you'll need the internal packing rubber (rubber disk with four holes in it), which is often available on ebay.
