Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Took my petcock off today to check it and the filter and found a small hole in the filter. My question is do the non honda petcocks which come with the filter included work properly? I have had a look at them and there does not seem to be a vacum pipe on them like the genuine honda ones? I can probably get a new filter but they are about £25 or $35 fo the filter alone and if the other petcocks are ok I may as well swop the whole lot.

Thanks Danny.

Danny has a 1985 Honda Vision....

Thanks motormike. Lol I always forget that bit. Sorry all.

I've got a nice working petcock and filter in good condition if your interested. Off a 87 aero 50.

Hi Mate,

Thanks for the offer but I'm in the UK and the postage would be more than what I can get one for here. However your picture is very useful. On mine there is a thin metal pipe which the filter slides on to and then a clip and a little air filter goes on the top. From your picture there isn't one? Do I take it from this that that bit is not required?

Cheers

Danny

Hmm not sure on that one. This is the only petcock I've pulled I guess. Never been inside my aeros tank.

Manual pic but I can't tell.

Little bigger

Have a look at the petcock on the link above. It exactly the same as the schematic pic you posted except you can see the pipe I describe. However if the one in your pic works which it will it will explain why all the new ones I can buy dont have the pipe.

Wouldn't still happen to have this do you? Will it fit my '85 nb50m? I keep getting ones that have the threads too large. I think they're for sprees. Thanks

Petcock threads are 14 x 100mm

I once had an '85 Aero with a bad petcock... it is not typical as you know. I gave up and bypassed it - just me - worked out fine off the float in the carb bowl.

Best Regards.

Hmm, i'll have to research how this is done. Heard about the 11mm on/off valve

Yup, im going with the on/off/reserve style no vacuum line. M14 equivalent to 16950-187-671

Thanks! !

Greetings:

For reasons known only to Honda-san, the petcock sizes got bigger in 1986-later. An'87 petcock won't fit an '85 tank..
