Yamaha petcock fell apart (Read 96 times)

Greg Serious Thumper Offline Molon Labe Posts: 1251 Southeast PA, uSA Gender:	Yamaha petcock fell apart 06/07/14 at 07:53:39 I was removing my tank to adjust my valves and when pulling off the fuel line, the brass nipple came out of the petcock. There are none local. If I cram it back in there, do you think it will work until a replacement arrives?

Yep....jam it back in, and a little JB weld or permanent thread locker can help. Dave

JB takes too long to set, at your auto parts store are some metal filled 5 minute liquid epoxies that would do just fine.

Cheesy

Can you even imagine all the carb cleaning and rejetting and stuff that people did 5 years ago, all the pain and agony and all the bikes that got sold due to pure frustration.

5 years ago we did not know the vac petcock was a primary cause of "various odd stuff".

Mebbe the onslaught of alky gas is the real cause of the start of its self-destructive ways. Me, I think it has caused trouble all along and just wasn't fingered as the source.

Perk up you trouble shooters, you -- E85 nationwide is on the way. Midwestern congressmen are pressing for it as we speak.

Regular will quickly become E85 and all the old cars will self-scrap themselves.

You think thats not the goal? Well, that And handing already millionaire farmers even MORE subsidies for NOT planting food crops ( gee, is food costing more?) & planting ever more GMO crap corn to turn to gasoline, destroying water supplies to pretend we are saaaving the planet,, give me a break,,
