Hyosung GT 250 carby fuel petcock

Hey guys, anybody know where to get a fuel petcock for a 2003 GT250 naked carb model think the part number is 44300HM8100.

Cheers

Thats not made or sold anymore as Hyosung started changing their tanks around 2005 to use *in tank fuel tap*

So why not ditch it. And use an **Inline 8mm Fuel Tap** that has the ON/OFF switch that goes between the tank line and fuel filter line.  They call it “fuel cock switch” in US tbh.  Unsure of the brand we used last time on a customer bike but make sure its japanese made if Amazon still has em.

That way it is still possible to just reach for it and switch off the fuel when bike is no longer running.

I’m not sure what you mean? I have 2 fuel lines coming off the petcock to the fuel tank, I presume ones for “on” and the other is “res” then one goes to the fuel pump if I remember rightly, not looked for a while. Can you show me what you mean please

Yes the tank has 2 pipes coming out of it , next to each other literally,  block one of them.

And get something like this:  (some have a hole, that can let you hook the frame using your wise creative mind 😉  )

Ok mate cheers,

<li style=”text-align: left;”>That’s an option. I’ve just got mine off and took it apart and the o ring and seal look ok so I think I might be able to save it with a good ultrasonic cleaning and rebuild. They do sell them in the states still but the postage is more than the petcock 🤣 think refurbishment is the key here

That’s a good call, if you could save your old one, you save pennies too!
