Title: YZ Fuel Tap
Post by: frank jnr on July 21, 2010, 05:29:25 pm

Can anyone help out?? I am after a 1978 YZ400E Fuel Tap, or a Fuel Tap that will fit this model. I am sure other model's will suit.

Cheers Frank Jnr

Have a look at the tap from any of the later 125/250 YZs. I found that the tap from an 05 YZ125 is a perfect fit onto a 1980 IT175 (and it's a way better tap), and I'll assume from that that the spacing etc for mounting is probably pretty standard on the plastic tanks for Yamaha off-road bikes.

a mob called K&L supply sell Japanese made repro petcocks. You can find them on ebay, about $20 from memory.

a lot of them during this period were similar - is this like what you are after?
