Fuel stop **** thingy - SV650.org

Right then, under the tank there is the vacuum operated valve that lets fuel out the tank to the pump. If you look at the bit that bolts to the tank there is a brass fitting on one side.......with me so far?

How is this held in? Would I be able to remove it using a screw out thingy or is it heat pressed in.

Answers on a post card to the usual address.

Are you referring to the brass stub that the fuel hose connects to?

If so then I doubt you'll be successful in removing it, I'd be fairly sure that it's shrunk in during the casting of the valve body.

If you look at the valve, there is the square section which has the vac valve and where the hoses attatch, and then there is the part that actualy fasstenes to the tank, on this part on the opposite side to the valve assembly is where the stud I'm refering to, it looks that this was origonaly opend so that the port for the fuel could be made, I was kinad hoping it wasn't cast and is actualy machined into the block so hopefuly it could be removed, otherwise I may drill it out the tap it and put a bolt in it's place.
