Pete-
If ya glue in a tube, be real sure that you use gasoline proof materials.
I'd hate to see you have a clogged up melted plastic mess to clean out of
your petcocks and lines. You can buy a new petcock with the tube for
about
$30-40 or so. Mark at MG Classics may even have
an old used tube by itself that could be had for a reasonable price.

Hey Alex.
Thanks for info. I've had both petcocks apart and cleaned them, both
feed
to the X and I did the test to see if they both flow freely down to |
| | There are no markings on the body of the valves, from Chris's mesg I see |
| | have 2 reserves in there. There are no tubes short or long.
I will glue in a tube and make one of them a primary.
Thanks again

Peter,
I'm new to this list but not to Guzzi. I bought my first one in 74
(LAPD new) and currently own 3. Your statement about 4 miles till otta
gas tells me somthing is wrong here.
On my 74 I use the left shut off for normal and the right for |
|
| | | | The left (normal) has a taller pick up tube. the right (reserve) has a
very short one.
When I run out I turn the right lever and get about 1 gallon.
Some things to check:
I believe that the part numbers for the left and right fuel cocks are
different. try buying a new left (reserve) one... or try eBay.
Make sure you have both fuel cocks going to an X and then to the |
|
| | | |
Try turning off your left fuel cock and remove the hose from the right
(what a pain that can be!). Then turn on the valve and see if enough |
|
| | | | runs out to burn the garage down. It should flow as nice and even as |
|
| | | | be. If no... bad valve.
You should get about 45 to 55 miles on the reserve. If you get just 4
that tells me either there was NOTHING in yer tank and you ran the |
|
| | | | out of the lines etc... or yer left valve is a reserve one...
I think some of the valves had RESERVE stamped on 'em.
Lemme know how this works out. Sounds like it's fixable.
Ciao
H.Alex
