That third nipple is simply a vent to supply air to the back side of the
vacuum diaphragm. The fuel cocks are relatively easy to clean and rebuild.
The PO may have replaced the vacuum diaphragm, but in my experience the

Internal to the petcock, then. I believe there are rebuild kits for it but you
have to drill out the rivets and tap new screws. Not for the free handed.

I did a quick test today. If I move the shut off to off, it stops leaking and
the bike runs till it runs out of gas.

You should be able to get a vac rebuild kit. Very easy to replace. Includes the
diaphragm.

The diaphragm in my '86 CB450's petcock has bit the dust. It leaks fuel
slowly when the engine is off and the petcock switch is on. When the engine
is running, fuel pours everywhere. (Coming out of where the cover and base
or perhaps the base and valve body connect.) I took it apart and confirmed;

Hi all. I've got an '82 750 Nighthawk that I picked up last fall,
which sat for a couple of years before I got it. My hope is to get it
road ready by this spring, and to that end, I need to replace my
exhaust.
The bike had the stock 4 into 4 arrangement, but it was rotten, so I
removed it. I go
I just had a Kawasaki KZ1000 do that. gas would pour out through the
hole in the muffler because it was being sucked into #3 cylinder due
to a torn diaphragm in the pet cock (allowing gas to be sucked into
#3 intake). Graham

I had this exact issue, and it was the petcock diaphragm. The thing had a
hole worn in the center where it mounts on a little post. Other symptoms
were occasional fuel leakage when stopped, and surging at low speed.
We got a replacement, screwed it in and I felt like I had a new bike.
Thanks...

I put Teflon tape on mine but I don't think it did anything. I'm
pretty sure gasoline eats it. Just make sure that the plastic screen
that goes inside the tank hasn't dry rotted. It's about the size of a
lipstick maybe? The "reserve tank" straw goes up inside it. The
plastic becomes brittle after a

My creative tool was using a jewlers file to make an offset wrench out
of a coat hanger to get that darn #2 pilot screw adjusted. After
purchasing a $50 special tool that didn't fit and subsequently

In recent months, my high mileage (90K+) 92 NH750 has had a growing number
of fueling issues, including low speed surging, fuel starvation at high
speed, leaks and gasoline odor that nearly led to both me and the bike being
