Dry break fuel connector?

This might be one for the road racers out there? What I'm looking for
(so far with no success) is a connector that goes in your fuel line
somewhere that can be used to connect and disconnect it without fuel
spraying out everywhere. Its *not* one of those race car filler things
that plugs into the tank to fill it with fuel like the V8 Supercars have.

The bike shop is at a loss and I've been to all the automotive type
shops to be met with a series of blank stares. I could swear I saw a
pamphlet advertising a simple white plastic one somewhere, but I've
tried all my usual haunts with no luck. Anyone who's ever tried to take
the tank of an RZ500 when its full of fuel will know why I want one (two
actually).

Cheers,
Ash

 

I think i recall seeing an add about what ur talking about in an edition of
Australian motorcycle news a few months ago at work. Yes they do exist.
Still i dunno where u'd get such a thing... maybe online?? but do chech some
past editions of AMCN.

I have one to connect the sidecar fuel tank, it was in AMCN, or try Repco.

Does this mean that the RZ is a going concern?

Indeed, I'm pleased to report that the RZ is once again polluting the
planet. Its had a complete (and very costly) engine rebuild including
one of the cranks and is running sweet as a nut. Well, truth be told
at the moment its not running at all as I've dumped the year old fuel
that was in the tank which was starting to smell decidedly funny.
Also one cylinder isnt smoking much, which, after discovering that the
oil pump is over oiling like mad, is a definite concern, so that'll
need some looking into.

Expect an email in the next few months seeking your advice on
purveyors of track daze. If you're nice (and game enough to let me
loose on your bike) we can play swapsies ;-)

Cheers,
Ash

on my google skills, I was searching for dry break fuel connector

Good oh!

Even before that, I want to orgaise a trip up the hill from the Hawksury
River to Pie in the Sky.....Frank, with the RG500, the Rz250 and 500,
and any other two-stroke screamers that we can find.

We'll also need some sound recorders!

So far, I have never gotten further than the test to see if I'm still

the attitude test?)

Actually, I'll be going up on Saturday to the Noise Test thingy, but
decided to take the Z50. I am curious just how noisey he might prove to
be, since I actually put the Yoshi C/F can on to quieten him down.
(Well, that and the pose factor!)

The two-strokes actually tend to read relatively low, even when the are
seriously screaming. <shrug>

Heh - that'd be fun - are _any_ of those bikes new enough to be
covered by the adrs?
