'77 Petcock = '75 Petcock?
« on: March 13, 2006, 06:10:01 PM »

  Hey guys,

  Can someone compare and contrast the petcocks for a 1977 CB550F and that for a 1975? 

  Are they the same?  Anyone have a pic of the '75?

  Thanks!  -Ben

The 77 CB550F petcock has a single oulet with a "T" for spliting to the carb pair feeds

The 75 Cb550 F or K petcock was two oulet.  No "T" fitting, a hose for each carb pair.

They fit into their respective tanks interchangeably.
