Petcock replacement.

Recommended Posts

I looked at golan products petcock, and am very impressed, bearings and rebuildable, I emailed to see if they had one. They said I needed to get the inside diameter of the building ng and thread size.

 

I don't have calipers so I need expert help also looked on the web, couldn't find it.

I been around this stuff, and I have a unique me ND set, that there is something better out there, I thought a factory replacement petcock would do, Wich it will but was wanting to see what benefit it would have. Good mechanics are rather odd people lol. 

 

My area of expertise is mowers and such. But hey, never hurts to think outside the box. When I had my Briggs 150 micron filter on, my pet cock would be turned out and I also want to shorten the length. Not that the stock petcock isn't great, I want to eliminate that strainer screen and bowl, and run my soon to be new filter, then I thought wait there has to be a shorter petcock out there.

 

I'm sure you can understand where I'm coming from looks and functionality, but more than likely a stock petcock with no screen, I'll consider and rethink the no screen.

 

My bowl but stripped so either way I'll have to go new petcock plus the flare where it goes on the nut is loose inside, makes the whole petcock spin when switching tanks.

So how much is that high tech petcock ? 

118.00 I think. But just hear me out, I considering and thinking on this cause, 1. Like someone said in my fuel line post, clear line gets hard and cracks overtime. 2. Better designed, I looked at factory petcocks, some good, others bad. Bad as in not rebuildable, or no ball bearings on the valve, if I can find one shorter and better designed then I'll go for it. If not a factory petcock will do. Answering a question that may pop up, I looked and couldn't find the rating on the stock screens, or the diameter of the bung or thread size.

I think it is, like I said if I can't get them measured I'll just go stock replacement petcock.  Shame Honda doesn't tell that information. 

 

Those look great and you may be able to visualize what I was talking about, more compact and better designed, plus rebuildable

 

I'll wait n see if anyone else has input, I'll measure sometime this week, overslept and didn't get up there to start on the carb today.

It does look well made  , government grade !!!!

 

 

There ya go lol. More than likely for a 93 Honda 300, the sizes probably won't match, but I can run a replacement stocker and take the screen out of the bowl, that filter is 10 micron. Never could find the specs on the stock screens neither.

I was going to wait till I had a definite inner diameter of the bung and thread size first. If you can do that I'll name my first born after you, if I ever find love lol. Mechanics are hard to be in a relationship with. We're perfectionists by nature.

I didn't go outside and measure  , I cheated --- looked it up on Partzilla and got a OEM  part number of the 300 petcock then crossed it over to after market part , then got a description of the after market part , I say I thought it was 18mm
