1980 kz1000 duel petcock problem
08 Jul 2009 18:00
I have a dual port petcock non vacume. The rear fuel tube pulled out of the body. Is there a fix to this? It does fit snug when I push it back in. Has anybody used any sealer and pushed it back in and what did you use?

Use acetone and a cotton Q tip to clean both parts. Then get some Loctite # 262 and apply a drop or two quickly assembling the part. To insure a tight fit, get a block of wood and tap the part with it with a hammer. Let it set up and the fix will be good.

JB weld epoxy works great for this too. Not effected by gas after it hardens.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

X2 on the JB Weld. That's what I used on mine.

Seal All or J B weld should work.
