A petcock problem

[Beaver]

I am in the middle of trouble shooting my '77 750 and am at the bit where I do something about the petcock dripping. Z1 doesn't have a new petcock for my model(that I can find), they did however have a Rebuild kit.

But that didn't work, it couldn't seal properly to stop the flow of fuel when there was no vacuum present. Can any one recommend me a petcock that I can use? I don't mind what it costs I just want my bike running properly.

Cheers

You could give these guys a bell. It's the wrong one listed for your bike but they might have the right one.

or this one:

Why is you tap not sealing off? They're really simple. Are you sure you got the kit back in the right way round + is the seat where the little O ring closes the fuel off clean?

I have heard many, many reports of the rebuild kits not working. Just get an OEM from a place like babbitsonline or partshark. It will last another 30 years.

Part number 44300-45011.

Alpha Sports has it for $93.34

G&S Suzuki has it for $70.90.

PartShark has it for $72.03.

Babbitts has it for $75.62

Cycle Parts Nation has it for $73.73

etc.

etc.

As good as Z1 is, they are not the only supplier.

Cheers Steve, you are a star!

Can you solve all my other problems for me?

For future reference:

G&S don't ship outside of the US(maybe Canada)
Babbitts and Cycle nation wanted $135 for shipping the petcock to Denmark
So I finally bought it from Part Shark
