copemech Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Providind nothing is damaged, you should be able to get a slightly larger diameter US o-ring that will seal it hu! Had to do that on the '06 and worked a charm. Hope that helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Seems I recall even the Sherco parts book may be incorrect in listing the old gasket so I do not know a pert number. You really just need to take the valve to the auto parts store or hardware store and just find one that fits the groove in the valve. The thicker cross section ov the US ones will give you a bit of insurance. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshercorider Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 The rubber seal rings next to the fuel tap expand because of the fuel It is a common problem and they go evry few years I had the same problem with my 06 125 hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
