1979 GS750L petcock rebuild kit?

[Guest]

I've been searching online for a petcock rebuild kit for my 1979 GS750L. I can find plenty of kits for 81's onward, and for straight '79 GS750's, however I can't seem to find one for the "L" series. I don't want to order an incorrect kit if I can avoid it. I found one site that specifically stated the 1979 GS750 rebuild kit does not fit the GS750L. Any suggestions?

Suggestion? Sure. Skip the rebuild kit, get a complete petcock.

I am not sure exactly why, but the success rate for petcock rebuilds tends to be around 10-15%.

Since the rebuild kit is already a major portion of a new petcock, skip the disappointment, go straight for the new one.

Remove your existing petcock and measure mounting bolt spacing.Also note direction fuel line and vacuum line face- could they be reversed 180 degrees without interference??

I took this route myself. Another option is to get a simple on/off valve like a pingle valve. You just have to get your bolt spacing correct. The easiest option is to get a new petcock.

Concurs with Steve. rebuild kits are just about pointless.
