Penton fuel taps

[garrettccovington]

I am a firm believer in draining the fuel after every ride.  I was worried about the rubber parts in my 6-Day and it sat for over 20 years.  It started up 2nd kick.  That doesn't mean fuel taps and such won't start leaking,but they haven't yet. I spent the money on the Bing Manual, what type of carb do you have? Type 54?  I can copy it and send it e-mail to you.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, or there was a bad batch, but I have had terrible results with Al B's petcocks. The rebuild kits are good for the original valves but they dont work on Al's new ones, the three "pipes" inside the valve are taller than the gasket is thick so it does not seal.

I use these petcocks from a place called Bevel Heaven for Ducatis

I use these on all my Pentons, my Maico and my cousin uses them on his Huskys. They are the same thread as the Penton petcocks and they can be bought in L/R pairs or individually. They do not look right for a restoration, but if you are going to build a rider/racer these are the best you can get, and they have ON/OFF/RES too.
