Help with Petcock differences
« on: July 28, 2010, 11:54:22 am »
In my effort to fit a cb750 supersport tank to my cb500 i have hit my first obstacle..
i cant seem to get the right petcock for my tank.. i have purchased now two petcocks one for a 78 CB550 and one for a 77 CB750 supersport, both turned out to be the exact same and dont fit the bung on my tank as the nut on both petcocks are two small..
so i need a petcock with the bigger nut to fit over the bung on my tank...

i have used the search function and haven't been able to find the answer im looking for..

does anyone know which petcock i should be looking for?.. do the 75-76 models use a bigger nut for the petcock?

does anyone have the one im looking for?...

and finally does anyone need one of the petcocks i have purchased but dont need?

thanks in advance
would really like to get the tank sorted
Jeff
