73 tx650 petcock

AFAIK there is no sealer other than gaskets used on any petcock on any year of the XS650 or any other petcock I have seen for that matter. At least not before some PO (previous owner) got to it. Spacers what spacers?
Welcome to the board.
Welcome to the board.
#42 might be considered as a spacer? Especially since it isn't metal as we know everyday run of the mill washers to be.
WER is right there are special "gasket/seals" used under the screw heads that attach the petcock to the tank. Those are essential to a leak free install.

yes,it's number 1 in the picture,can't see it on other side,these came on all from factory,#366-24545-00,only 1/4 inch and has a gasket like the petcock and holes and slides right on top,i guess it aligns the hose with carb,it only has a thin layer of something gray along outer edge,just trying to find out what,thanks txgary
Number 1 is the tank in the schematic.
gggGary run the part number through e-bay and his is right.
It is a full spacer instead of the contoured o-ring.
txgary it goes between the petcock and tank where #40 is in the schematic.

Sure enough! I just ran the 73 up on the lift for a carb overhaul and those spacers are there between the tank and petcocks. That Yamaha picture above is from the Yamaha site and I used the 1973 TX650 parts but the pic clearly shows a 70-72 tank. Oh well, I guess even Yama-mama makes some oopsies.
Got to go warm up the Pinesol, later!
