1980 KZ750G fuel petcock HELP!
02 Dec 2021 10:57
Can anyone tell me about this valve? I need a rebuild kit due to leaking when I turn it on/off. I believe it’s only the rubber bushing (has four holes?) that’s damaged. It’s on a 1980 KZ750G and it’s a dual outlet.

Howdy. I tried the diagrams at Partzilla but yours doesn't seem the same & I don't know if your fuel valve is stock or from another model or what. The ALFA markings could indicate that it's an aftermarket petcock from back in the day. ???

In case there aren't any repair parts. Z1Enterprises.com lists a number of fuel valves, but you'd have to figure out which one will fit.
From some other topics the fuel tank bung is probably 22mm w NPT threads (13/16 on a Harley), but you'd have to verify that.
Pingel brand are kind of pricy but should be high quality. cheap chinese on EB are known to fail or break.

That's not a stock petcock, the reducer is the give-away
