Title: XS Fuel taps Post by: Clive on April 19, 2017, 08:11:47 PM Anyone got a pair of XS fuel taps kicking about, that aren't vacuum operated. Bolt to bolt is 42mm I think.

The info on the sites maybe useful with regard to varients and ID ;) http://www.xs650.biz/p/36/1423/mo74-cg%7C25=1/gastanks-gas-caps-petcocks-parts https://www.mikesxs.net/fuel-system/gas-tanks-gas-caps-petcocks-parts.html Title: Re: XS Fuel taps Post by: tom_prs on April 20, 2017, 02:01:57 PM I may have some in the garage - I'll check tonight for you Clive.

Great Tom, thank you They're actually 46mm between bolts Title: Re: XS Fuel taps Post by: tom_prs on April 20, 2017, 07:20:22 PM I found one and a half fuel taps, the distance between the mounting holes is 45/46mm, but they look like they're vacuum operated and could do with a good clean.
Probably not what you're after but you are more than welcome to them if they will be of use!

Think I may have found a modification online, so it will give me something to replace mine with when I f**k up, sorry experiment.
Just let me know how much Title: Re: XS Fuel taps Post by: tom_prs on April 20, 2017, 08:40:43 PM I don't want anything for them, its the least I can offer for rehoming your welder!
I'm in Basingstoke (North Waltham), you're welcome to collect them whenever, or I could bring them to the Basingstoke Transport Festival if your'e not in a rush for them - whichever is easiest! Title: Re: XS Fuel taps Post by: Manky Monkey on April 20, 2017, 08:49:01 PM Probably cost about 3 quid to post them.
