GPZ fuel tap leaking

Post by Eastoe »

The fuel tap on my 82 GPZ750 leaks. Previous owner complained about it when I picked it up and he had fitted an inline on/off fuel tap.
Is this a common recurring problem or a simple case of replacing the valve?

Many many moons ago I had a 1984 GPz750 that the diaphragm at the back of the fuel tap went on, the fuel all leaked into the crankcase :shock: .... it was very clean after the oil change though :lol:
does that help? :?

fuel tap kits available from Z1 Enterprises - this will fix the leaking tap.

Has happened to a couple of my taps over the years - they are probably OEM gaskets in your tap mate.....
