Fuel tap/petcock..

[JayDub]

I don't like manual fuel taps, I always forget to turn them off and mine has a leak when it is off, I know there is a manual Yamaha one which is a straight swap, so does anyone know of a vacuum type which will also fit?

I think the Legend's and Adventurer's had them, maybe even the Thunderbirds but they're all metal tanks so are probably screw in jobs and I recall reading that they are temperamental, often getting changed for a manual one.

Personally I'd stick with a manual, how many bikes do you have?

The Yamaha one is a straight fit, do a search in the parts cross reference thread, just be aware that the main pipe is shorter than the original so you will have less reserve when it sucks dry.

Erm, three.

Erm, three! total 11 carbs 
Oh, I forgot about the H100 - Four total 12 carbs

How many of those have automatic petcocks?

Do you see where I'm going with this?  :icon_wink:

The classic triples petcock is just like the Tiger's, only with a metal spacer block. Some have replaced it with a Kawasaki Zephyr (?) model that is vacuum operated. Search on Triumphrat under the classic triples, and you'll find several references.
