STEVE, Thanks for getting back to me that BING web site had some petcocks that looked alot like mine what I can read on mine is PAIO ITLAY, does anyone know what size threads are on 76 tank ?

Wilbur, first of all welcome to the best place on the web. Do your self a favor and call Al about the parts, they are very easy to rebuild and the old ones are much better than the ones built to fit our bikes. I have bought several of some new ones and they do not turn off and on very well, they tend to leak and the little levers that control the valve fall off. I have had to stick a screw in them to get them to work. They are fine if you are just going to restore it and not ride it but if you plan to ride the bike.... rebuild the old ones. Not to mention, it is alot cheaper that way...

I have not bought one from the bing dealer yet so I can not tell you anything about them specifically They maybe different, but I have bought several from other dealers and they were all the same and I have not had good luck with them.
The people at Bing have been very good and have been very helpful in sorting out a problem I had with one of my Carb's These are good people to deal with, I would have bought a petcock from them but I did not know about them until I had already bought replacements from someone else. Let me know if I can be of help:)
