I just cut some from a hunk of cork gasket material, have yet to try it but
will tomarrow as I get off work and get to ride tomarrow!!!!!!!! (I'm happy
about that)
My cap is leaking when full
| so I avoid filling it completely but need to take care of it. I fixed my leaking taps (one completely, the other only leaks while turning it on) by disassembling and (carefully) flipping the gasket over. I also got a set of gaskets made by Bruce Giller that I have yet to try (Yea, I know Bruce I have had them how long?). I also purchased 2 steel replacement taps from Wesson's in the UK for about $40 for the pair shipped that I am keeping in reserve just in case. They look just like the aluminum ones but are steel. I have tried them and they both work fine so I pulled them sprayed the with preservative and tucked them away.

I know we talked about new gaskets for fuel valves on the list before, anyone successfully fix thier's? Also my nice shinny gas cap didn't seal, I fixed that with a cork gasket. |
