My petcock broke....

[Pablo]

No THAT sucks. Just started dribbling fuel and banego, lets go. Thank goodness I was in the garage and had a container handy...could have lost $50 of fuel!

I notice DAX sells the type I had for $6.99......anyone have other options? Got a spare?

Yeah always something! The metal looks like garbage - I'll post pics later.

$50 worth of fuel? You mean like 50 cents, right?

That was a joke son!

Probably close to $2. Pics snapped....just got a big shipment. Let me deal with that first.

Will trade something for quick shipment of a petcock.

Here are some quick shots:

(Anyone got a spare??)

try the hardware store for a 1/8 brass ball valve or what ever you can find that will fit. One problem is I think the threads are metric on the tank so you will need to check if your close to a cycle shop they should have a tank valve.
J&P cycles have a online catalog and list fuel valves check them out.
I has my Dax kit fuel valve do the same thing I was removing the fuel line and got a little rough but I had an extra fuel valve that is brass. I layed the bike on its side and got the dutchman out of the tank installed the new valve and was back in business quick hardly lost a drop of the high dollar perfume we all refer to as fuel.

I have been looking for an excuse to buy one of those plastic inline cutoffs, I think yall just gave it to me.

then again probably not.

Anyone know the thread size?

my 1/8 pipe metric tap is stamped 1/8-27npt.
I broke out my american set and the 1/8 pipe tap is the same so looks like the 1/8 pipe tap thread will work so a guy should be able to find a nice valve at the hardware store 1/8 brass ball valve with a hose barb at least it sound good.

I guess we can call it a concurrent discovery - I just got back from my local True value with a very nice 1/8" pipe thread ball valve and am reading your post!! I brought a hunk of the old one to try it - yep fit nice. The final assembly with brass hose barb is a bit longer....but I must say it actually flows better and is extremely heavy duty.
