Title: RD petcock fuel pickup screens - need part source
Post by: SoCal250 on February 08, 2022, 02:14:58 PM
Anyone have a source for the small in-tank fuel pickup filters found on RD petcocks? Similar to the ones shown in the first pic. The one for the regular fuel pickup is a 6mm ID slip fit that is pressed on to the brass tube. The reserve pickup looks to be about a 6mm OD and is pressed into the petcock body. Thanks

Maybe?

Hmm. That may work for the press-in one on the base, which is the more important one. Won't work though for the slip-on because it has to go over a 6mm brass tube. I guess this would get me halfway there. Thanks!

I could not find them a few years ago when I was looking for my 350, so I bought a super cheap petcock from China for less than $5 and just used the screens from that. They were a pretty tight fit.

I have used Graco paint gun filters on a few bikes.
  You cut off the nipple and drill out the open to fit over the tube. They work well. They are available at most all big box hardware stores. I'm not certain if they work on RD's but can't see why not.
