New day with new questions....
this time regarding the petcocks on my 1971 R75/5
3 questions... these are a mess, they had no strainers, and no filter, and missing some of the pick up tubes
1st question: I don't see the pick up tubes available in the diagrams with Max or Bob's (1 short/reserve, and 1 long). Can I find plastic tubing at the hardware store... or has anyone ever replaced these before?
2nd question: On the same tank tubes referenced above. One side of my petcock's has 2 large diameter tubes sticking out of it. The other side petcock is missing the short tube, and the long tube is a smaller diameter than the first side. Are
the right and left supposed to have different size of tube? I pulled the large diameter from the 1st petcock and it does not fit into the 2nd one... so maybe the 2 different sizes are supposed to be different right to left?
3rd and final question. Upon taking one apart... the spring pictured in the parts diagram is not in mine. Mine has a couple of wavy spring washers stacked under the lever instead of a coil spring. did some years not use the coil? or did a
previous owner "fix" this before I got it?
thank you everyone
I really appreciate the help and education
