I think I may have a bunch of those in a box somewhere. Will have to go take a look around.

Hi Greg, You can see them on the MG Cycle website: http://www.mgcycle.com/fuel.html Check out #3. Those are for Stornello and such, the V700 ones have a hose barb instead of the threaded outlet. Otherwise they're the same. Cheers,

Hi Randy,
I'd love to see pictures of these, if you have 'em. If not, don't bother. Thanks!

AJ I have a 67 V700 with original tamedicks, (petcocks) that do not have any perforated tubes on either side. These petcocks have flip levers mounted horizontally that have only 2 positions, on or off. As Greg stated you use the left one as main tank, and the right as the reserve, acct. of the tank tunnel acting as a separate reserve tank area.
I think that Greg's left petcock tube with higher perforations could possibly give you a 2nd reserve if there actually was a reserve position
on the petcock, similar to BMWs of the time. If I run my R90/6 like my 700, I get 3 reserves. First I run the LH cock on main, 2nd the RH cock on main, then back to the LH for reserve and finally the RH reserve hoping the gas station is in sight. I've never ran out yet, with this much low fuel warnings and a 6.8 gallon tank. Oh! my aching butt!!
