I've bought a fuel tap petcock rebuild kit for my 1995 Trident 900, and in stripping the tap down, the vacuum diaphragm is different to the one on the bike, the one on the bike has a plastic spacer between the seals, the replacement doesn't: I'm flummoxed. Could the one without the spacer be an upgrade, more importantly, does anyne know if I can use it as a replacement
Always easy to do - not that I've EVER done such a thing! AHEM! Be very careful when assembling, the diaphragm parts are, IIRC, very thin and fragile.
Hi there, i have recently bought the same bike and spears that I’m having the same issue. Did the rebuild kit work for you?
The rebuild kit will work - as long as there's no other problems with the fuel tap. You could cover more bases with this :- https://www.triumphparts.co.uk/prod...m-tap-on-carburettor-3-and-4-cylinder-models/
