Z900 A4 Fuel pipes and petrol tap

#1 PostAuthor: nick4275 » Fri Jun 05, 2015 12:35 pm

Wotcha Gherkins,

Feelin' good this week. Back on the road ! MOT - Done, Tax - Done, First ride - Done ! It's been off the road since 08 so I'm well chuffed.

Can anyone help me with a couple of quick questions all relating to '76 Z900-A4.

What is the inner and outer diameter of the fuel pipes - and any recommendations for of brand or type. Mines gone all hard (ooh er, missus !) and I'm not they were ever right.

Also my fuel tap is really on it's last legs (it's been fixed with glue - don't ask !) So I thought I might use an OEM unit from Z-Power unless anyone can recommend a better option.

if you're not bothered about originality you could do a lot worse than a pingel tap..

The 51023-043p tap ZP sell is not very good, mine leaked from the off, they don't have any genuine left - or so they tell me.
51023-1021 is the one they used to sell, but it's been discontinued so not available.

You can sometime find genuine NOS ones on the bay, but at many ££££'s.

If you get the pingel remember to order the M22 screw on collar, debbens also keep pipe that will do the job, a bit ugly though.

Just bought one from Z Power and it leaks straight away and will have to go back. They are not OEM's just poor patten ones.
