[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 95240, member: 597"] Ahhhhhhhhhh..........fuel taps..........Probably one of the more frustrating parts of old bikes, especially if you have a black engine. These taps shown are great, I used them on the Vincent racer and also use them on my new toy, again a racer but an Eso/Norton for the fuel and oil taps. I found the small screw holding the lever on can come undone and the lever falls off never to be seen again. I removed the ones on the new bike and put loctite on the small threads to stop this happening again. Only downside is they don't have any filters, but I have an upswept line to the Amal 302 float bowl that would trap any foreign matter, quite critical on those type float chambers that readily flood.
