Z1000a1 fuel tap

#1 PostAuthor: Mr Bump » Mon Nov 28, 2016 8:47 am

Morning all,

The fuel tap on my a1 (twin outlet manual type) dribbles fuel out of the pipe outlets when turned off. It doesn't leak externally.

I reckon it must need a new rubber sleeve thingy (the one with holes in). A brief look has found the o ring kits, but not this bit. Anywhere i can get them from? It doesn't look like it was available as a spare from kawa when new.

Thanks,

Olly

Bummer.

Is it worth buying a pattern one from z power and taking the guts out of it to rebuild the genuine tap? Are they similar enough to do this?

Thanks
