That is my backup plan if the rebuild doesn't go good.

The main, (large) diaphragm in the kit is 1/2 the size of the one that was inside my shut off valve. That must be the difference between the two kits, different diaphragms. Once i verify what kit I have, I'll post it on the for sale board to recoup my costs.... I ordered the electric valve today. I will post when it comes in & how it fits in the old vacuum valves position.

The Valkyrie has a different petcock than the wings.

Mystery solved, I contacted Wexy & here's his reply; _____Original Message_____ From: wexy Date: 2012-02-08 04:33:46 Subject: Re: No ,the older model has the larger diaphram , measuring roughly 2" across , the number on the box for the older one is 7743536 and the newer on is 743541 Wexy, Honda must have had some '96 valves left over & used them on early '97 models. My bike is a '97 with a 7-96 build date & I have the larger diaphram. The kit I bought for a '97 has the smaller diaphram. So that solves the mystery. Thank you for your expertise & replies....-Rich Last edited on Wed Feb 8th, 2012 01:38 pm by Redeye1620 ____________________ Everybody going faster than me is a "Maniac".

If you have a 743541 for the newer petcock, I would get it from you if you would?

Update, I went with the Dan-Marc http://www.dan-marc.com/79-afc1231412.html electric valve. It fits in the spill tray & with a couple of brass fittings from Napa, all is well again with the wing. I also replaced the fuel lines from the tank to the valve & the fuel filter at the same time. With the new high out put alternator I should be good for another 16 years of winging.....-Rich Last edited on Tue Feb 14th, 2012 08:59 pm by Redeye1620 ____________________ Everybody going faster than me is a "Maniac".

Funny guys, my mechanic just informed me the petcock is leaking. Hey 19 years old, he said I will look for the parts, should I encourage him to go electric or let him hunt down a rebuild kit.

There are no rebuild kits available anywhere. You can buy used valves, rebuilt valves, (although I don't know where the rebuilder is getting kits), or you buy new valves http://tinyurl.com/7nxdug3. I know ALEX BERECZKY has a couple of petcocks for sale as of a week ago. Or I have read you can bypass the valve all together, as some have done w/o any problems. Or you can go electric for about a total cost of about $65.00.
