R27 Petcock
R27 Petcock
1. Is this original to the bike? It's a Karcoma and is stamped 482. The label plastic/cap is installed upside down and I'm unable to push the selector to the top position as it hits the tank.
2. I wiggled the two tubes that fit inside the tank off of the petcock. They were held in by some kind of goop. Can someone confirm what that stuff is?
Thanks in advance and I'm now going to go back to scrubbing the turpentine smell off of my hands

Re: R27 Petcock
This it the part that BMW sold as replacement part in 70´s for both R27 & 60/2.
I bough Everest replicas at eBay, really cheap with all markings, the last fitted on my bike has 2 years working without any leak.
Only point I really dislike its screen filter that in some cases are not very good welded (fixed with tin soldering).
Regards
Rodolfo

Re: R27 Petcock
May also add another gasket between the tank and petcock to get more clearance for the petcock lever

Re: R27 Petcock
I corrected the flanges in a lathe and now the fiber washers fit.
Also on my NOS Everbest, there is a (cork) washer underneath the meshed fuel filter in the lower part. On the repro there was none so I put a fiber washer in to avoid leaks there.
