GS1000 Fuel Tap
Hi guys having someproblems with my fuel tap so I decided better to just buy new, problem is I have the skunk tank with the 44mm fitting, can't source a new tap in the UK so looked at the ones Z1 sell, I notice however that the ones they sell the fuel outlet from the tap faces backwards, the tap I have on my bike faces forward, will there be any hassle in getting the one from Z1 to work, thinking routing fuel lines etc. Thanks WayneTags: None

A quick check shows that the forward facing tap ones aren't common on OEM lever style petcocks- I didn't find any new ones. It's odd, since if you look at the petcock, it's been manufactured to have the fuel outlet fitting able to be pressed in from either side (then other side blocked off).
Check your bolt centerline spacing- is it 44 mm?1981 gs650L

Hi Steve thanks for the link but the same problem exists with that tap as the fuel outlet points backwards, wonder if I have a tap from the wrong model bike on my tank?

There may be a filter difference, as I had two different styles of filters on my petcocks. A two tier and single tier one, but otherwise that's the correct petcock for the '78 & '79 GS1000E.
The '80 model had a different petcock, one without the lever and the spacing was different also. Could it be that you a '80 GS1000E?sigpic
