175 Petcock Turn Lever

[moonpup]

Checking to see if anybody currently has a 175 petcock taken apart and could post a picture of the backside of the turn lever.

I have one that doesn't look quite right and would like to verify the flow cutout on the back side.

     Can't help with a photo.   Could this be anything to do with different taps?on the DT and HS models as found on the GTR/GTO machines. IE, Tap action is reversed on the GTO to clear the high pipe.

I don't think so, it looks like it didn't get cut out properly. Hard to describe, Ill take it apart and post a pic soon.

Ok, here's a pic of the 175 lever (right) vs a 350 lever (left)

What confused me was that I'm use to working on the 350 stuff and I remembered that they had a "continuous" cutout to direct flow from the tank to either the regular or reserve source.

Then when cleaning this 175 tap I saw it had just 2 holes drilled into the back of the lever and didn't notice until now that they intersect at the bottom which allows for fuel to flow between both holes.

Question answered!
