fuel tap / tank

Post by fat nick » Sat Jan 19, 2019 10:18 pm

Just a quick check .. am I right in assuming ( yes that word) that, there is no difference in 750/100/1100 fuel tank hence fuel taps ?? Robinsons seem to quote same P/N for Taps for all models ?? As I am told my Kat 750 was an import ( captive bolts for front engine mounts ) is this the same ?? thanx for any light you can shed on this :)

theyre all imports!
captive bolts for front mounts indicates its an sd frame as the earlier sz's have the bolt going through the frame with a nut on the other side, sd's have a captive threaded insert that th bolt screws into. but, yes, fuel taps are all the same!

Yep I got a couple of fuel taps from eBay for the 250 and pop up , both less than £15 each Just put in Suzuki GS Fuel tap, they look like the older ones but fit and work.

If you've still got the fuel tap by the Mancee, I'll swap you for a beer or three.
