Petcock 😆 (kids found it funny)

Post by Donut 77 »

Ok, super easy one today please folks.

Pic 1 - can someone just confirm that the circular recess in the white plastic dish is meant to be showing here, as it’s for the spring to locate in? I’ve seen vids where they put it the other way around?

Pic 2 - does the cover with the vacuum spigot go in this orientation - ie pointing down? I’m sure it possibly doesn’t matter, but I want to get it right.

Thanks all - nearly there…

The one pointing down is a drain. If the petcock fails you might see a dribble from here.

If you put the vac line on it the bike won't run.

Hi Mac,

I’m happy with which one to plug the vac hose on - I was just unsure whether it matters which way round you put the cover plate? Ie yours is at 270deg here! I was going to put mine at 180deg, straight down in line with the drain (as per my pic) Does it matter?

Cheers.

😆😆

So is that the correct way then?

I was only questioning as I thought straight down was in direct line with the vac hose but where possible as a newbie I like to do it as Honda did it.

Dangerously near to actually running this bike..
