85 gyro w/600 miles fix or sell?
Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2015 11:30 am
I have a 85 gyro that i have been tinkering with. sat with gas for 20 years but i easily cleaned out the tank and the only part that i now need is a petcock. looking for an after-market or possibly fix/clean the one that i have. the gyro does run, i connected an alternate tank to it - can you say plastic bottle 
so here is my dilemma, not sure i want to work on this anymore or sell it to someone who is more interested than i. i was really looking for a scooter as a daily driver and figured the 3-wheel was a cool alternative. when i bought it i didn't realize there was such a following for these scooters.
if anyone can help with the petcock repair or replace i would really appreciate it. the petcock is intact except for the tank filter which fell apart. figured i could buy a replacement petcock on ebay but cant find one with the correct thread. appears to be 16mm but i am not sure - any one know the thread size??
if anyone is interested in buying, here are the specifics. its a black 85 with 600 miles. tires need to be replaced but replacements seem to be available now, google 530/450x6 universal tires. the petcock needs to be fixed or replaced. it runs well. all electronics work. all plastics are in great shape, bike is totally complete.
i have 2 keys and PA title for the bike.
original intent was to get this scooter on the road, but i am running out of time with winter setting in - the petcock thing has really stalled me.
thanks!
