Hi dudes

Which petrol tap joint are you guys using, I'm sick to death of them breaking or vibrating themselves to bits!

Many thanks for looking

Options/opinions welcomed.

Just using a standard one like this,never had a problem.

Yep used those before more often than not they snap.

Thanks for that though.

I'm currently using one I bought from a well known dealer which as always has fallen to bit ffs.

MB scooters do one in stainless , but if your fuel tap is not straight they will break . Guess your using a big carb on the left hand side

I wouldn't call a 25 mil dellorto a big carb!

But thanks all the same.

Ive never had one break. Is everything else free and easy to tirn.

Same here. Many carb set ups with various extreme angles, never had one break. I have some original italian ones still in use on my dl with a phbh carb.

Is there something going on with the pins you’re using? Maybe they are too big and cause the joint to bind?
