Default Any ideas for a replacement petcock other than a new Honda one @ $185??
I've taken the stock one apart and tightened it up as much as possible, the the seals are just shot. Anybody got any ideas for a replacement other than a new one from Honda? Any such thing as an aftermarket replacement, even a universal one? My bike fuel fouls a plug every few days, and that really bugs me, I know it's not good for the motor to have that much fuel sitting in a cylinder.

i know its a pain, but heres what i did. i installed a small inline shutoff valve between the stock petcock and the carbs. i reach in through the hole in the fairing where the idle adjuster is at to turn it on and off. its a pain, but better than pulling plugs all the time!!!

Mine doesn't have that, (the vacuum part, I thinkthe whole thingmay have been replaced by a unit from an F3 at some point in time),and Honda says there are no seals or rebuild kit available, only a complete unit. If I could buy the rubber part, I'm sure I could fix it....

I've been there, and all they show is complete assemblies. The petcock that's on mine now has a steel plate riveted over a rubber "gasket", and the "gasket" has raised edges thatseal to the steel ball that's controlled by the valve handle. I'm pretty sure nobody will make that as a service part, in fact, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be able to take the petcock apart, but I did. I drilled right through the swaged metal tips that hold the whole thing together and tapped it for some small machine screws.

Pingle makes a valve. $125. No more vacuum hook ups. I do turn it completely off every time I am done riding.

Now that's what I'm talking about, thanks. Quite a range of prices out there for the same part, anybody seen them on eBay?
