    Gas cap vent

    In trying to repair a leaky gas cap, the venting mechanism came apart and I lost track of parts positioning. Does anyone have or know of an exploded view of these pieces? The fische doesn't show this part in pieces.



    I have a Hi Res version here if you want a closer look.

      None taken, but...

      Have I done it?

      Have I found the part that is too small or inexpensive to rebuild!

      Someone has to have info on this...

      Don't let me be the only guy who can't resist taking a screw out of something just because it doesn't work.

      I tried to be careful, I knew some spring or BB or washer could rocket outta the thing... But it leaked!

        Hey Phaseman, I hate when that happens, with all that Hi -tech camera and computer technology, maybe you should be filming when you dismantle. Are you still in the process of getting that tank repaired. I don't understand about the leak, they are vented so if you tip the tank it will spill out of the filler with the cap on anyway. The manual states you are to fill below the the filler tube for expansion purposes. As long as the tank locks, a couple shots of wd-40 probably would been just as good to clean any deposits on the internals of the cap. bmac

          Filming would be good, and maybe a mechanic on either side to boot!

          Tank is looking good and should be back in my hands on Tuesday. I think the leak will be fixed when I get this thing back together. I found on disassembly that the gasket fits around a piece of sprung steel that had gone pretty flat, so I bent some new life into it. Now I just need to get it back together in the right order.
