Title: 1985 FJ1100 Petcock Gasket w/ four holes.
Post by: jenos713 on August 03, 2011, 10:47:09 AM
I am in need of the gasket or a lead on where to go to get one at least. If you disassemble the petcock by removing the two small screws on the plate that says FUEL   RUN      CARBS, the switch comes off and under that there is a gasket rubber gasket with four holes in it. That is the one I need. Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, mine only has four holes, two to hold it in place and two for the fuel. Maybe it would work though. The other parts look right.

Can you give me the outer dimensions of that gasket? After seeing the picture, I have those listed in one of my suppliers catalogs. They are not listed by application, just by size.

I can get the gasket separately and as a rebuilt kit like the one listed...I just need the size.

Hopefully it is 28.5mm or 22.60mm

If you have the diaphragm out as well and you could measure that, I can see if I can get those as well.
