Is this the right Petcock rebuild kit?
Is this the right Petcock rebuild kit?
Hey, Iv'e been trouble shooting a fueling issue recently and have nailed it down to the petcock I suppose.
Anyone that has rebuilt the petcock may be able to tell me if this gasket set looks right and complete?

Hey:
That looks about right, hopefully it has some screws or info on the sizes you need as well, you will have drill out the rivets as you may need to with some kits, and the diaphram has screws that may need to be replaced as they strip pretty easy. So just be prepared to do that and you will be GTG. Pick up a Metric oring kit from Harbor Freight to replace the tank to spacer oring as well if it is dryrotted as they can get that way too.

I went to Honda today and bought the kit. The kit in this picture is not what Honda supplied. NOTE: All the parts Honda provided were identical to what was in my petcock.
It was a clean plug and play. I reported the seller to ebay. I am tired of buying crap off ebay that does not work.

What did u report the ebay seller for? He has nearly 100% positive feedback on nearly 50000 transactions...just wondering as I buy heaps off ebay and if the seller has a good record they are usually fine.(I just got all my seals/gaskets for my top end rebuild off ebay and all were great)

I am sure you can get great parts from ebay but, the listings need to accurate.

I should probably buy a spare from ebay and do my experimenting on it till I get good.
