Title: tech board type questions
Post by: godfire on May 17, 2012, 01:21:18 PM
Ok, maybe this belongs on the tech board, but I like/trust you guys better/more.

Petcock rebuild. Does Honda have a Part# for such a kit?

Does the Hondaline rebuild kit come with a screen?

My screen is nasty, petcock rubber all looks good (20K miles on it).

Bike only runs on reserve, and at that chokes out at 70mph.


Plan on changing screen and rebuilding petcock.

Just need to know what to buy.

The rubber parts looking good can be deceiving.

I just changed the petcock diagphram on the Jet bike and it looked lots better than the pictures above, but still was giving me problems.

If you'll bring it down here we might could call an emergency wrench party for a former DFWer  :cooldude:

And, you probably remember not to tighten the main petcock nut assembly too tight when you reinstall.  Good wrenching to ya.

This is my spare Cover Set -- the installed one is less than two years old -- and I plan to replace the screen, fuel lines and vacuum lines by InZane...preventative maintenance!

The rebuild is a very simple procedure.

Good luck!

Well, it isn't that hard but you gotta' put the parts back in the right order and be careful not to tear a hole in the new diaphragm.  Pay close attention to the order when you take it apart.

Don't ask how I know.....
