hrc2002 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Evenin Y'all! Im looking for a petrol tap for a 1999 tank (The carbon firbe one) although I assume a 98/00 (maybe more?) will fit. Anyone have one lying about for sale? Thanks!

trials lad Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Does anyone else here think the montesa fuel tap is a pain to swich on? I have to use a screwdriver to leaver it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subira Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) The answer is to never turn it off Seriously I never bother, my 'works' style flat tank has no tap, just a QD clip that stops the flow when you need to get the tank off. I am sure that there's some scientific reason why I'm totally wrong, but I don't think I have turned the tap off more than a couple of times in 5 years of 315s ( except to remove it). A similar tap is fitted to the KTM EXC I'm playing on at the moment, that was also a complete pain to turn on/off/reserve. A quick strip down, clean and grease has it working like new - or better than new. munch is correct - the taps are all the same, as are the tanks, apart from the colour of course.

munch Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 trials lad , drill a hole in the lever and put the metal ring off a key ring on it easy to pull then . take a look at my 04 next time you see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montman Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 My tap has only been turned off once in 16months to remove the tank. No problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
