Can someone with the dread 1980 petcock measure something for me please???

[tkent02]

I just need to know how far it is from the mounting surface to the very lowest point on the bottom of the petcock. Having serious clearance issues, might need to use this flat petcock.

1980 Gs1000 petcock do?

[tkent02]

Yes, forgot that detail. 1980 GS1000E if you have that one. The little flat petcock with no handle.

No Sorry, Got a 1000G with res, on and prime.

Tom the lever less petcock on my 80' 1100E is 1-1/2" thick.
Measured from the base that rests against the tank to the very most bottom point on the petcock.

OK thanks, that's still too thick to fit. Back to the drawing board.

[loud et]

Its sort of hard to explain but its only 1-1/2 inch on the outside surface where the little run/prime plastic slot is.
On the frame side its a bit thinner.....1-1/4".
I have a junk one that was scavenged for the diaphragm....I can send it out tomorrow so you can try it. No need to return it.
If u want pm me your address.....You will have it in a few days.

I pet the petcock hole isn't directly above the CV carburetor tops, is it?
