Product Overview
Fuel dripping below the tank, an engine that starves even with fuel in the tank, or a reserve position that no longer works can point to wear inside the fuel valve. Replacing the assembly is often cleaner and safer than trusting hardened internal seals.
Honda used reference revisions across these years. Compare the tank thread, outlet direction, lever positions, and any vacuum connection before exposing the tank to fuel.
This is an aftermarket replacement part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a bad petcock cause the bike to stall? A: Yes, if it restricts fuel flow, but the tank vent, hose, filter, and carburetor should also be checked.
Q: Why are two Honda numbers listed? A: The valve may have been revised; physical design and the original reference must match.
Q: Is it safe to ride with a leaking petcock? A: No. Repair any active fuel leak before operating the motorcycle.
