pingel taps

[Guest]

for months my Gs1085s has been very ill.
this morning start it up with petrol cap on it pops bangs run like poo.
so i removed petrol cap when engine was running after a few secs the engine runs sweatly
we have full power again.
so next thing i did put a spare petrol hose on pingel tap ran it straight into a jug the flow differance is I say a 3rd more,with cap removed.
new fuel cap about to be orded,just wondering if you can order a extra tanker breather might help.

You can take your current filler cap to bits and give it a clean. If it's original it's 100 times better quality than the after market junk you'll end up getting (unless you're very lucky - a proper one is ?75 from Robinsons and a copy is ?15).

yeah strip it and clean it, no need to buy a new one. no need for an extra breather

i have stripped my orignal cap its all like varnished up and the seal is very cracked ,so
where does the cap get it air vent from where you put key in.
mind you cap is 31yrs old now.

soak it overnight in parrafin or similar. easy enough to make a new seal, far cheaper than buying a new cap
