A couple of weeks ago I decided that the R100 had been vegitating too long on the back porch so I pushed it into the yard and gave it a washing. Man, a few years covered with dust relly dulled the shine so I will need to get out the polisher... I then pulled and dumped the tank as the gas was pure varnish and then I found the fuel petcock "straws" had disintegrated! and would not pass anything. I found some older style petcocks on FleaBay and ordered a pair. They don't have a "sock" over the tubes but do have the dual level tubes and a strainer in the outlet. I put them on and as soon as my new bowl gaskets get here I'll dump in some gas and see what happens.
I might actually take it for a spin around the neighborhood!!!
Here's what I bought:

For $14 and change I thought they were a steal! :thumbsup:
