2003 Rev 3 - Extra Fuel Tap?

Featured Replies

Hi all - new here having just got back into trials after a very long time and picked up a 2003 Rev 3 250.

 

It appears to have an additional retro fitted fuel tap, which has been plumbed in after the stock tap. I can't see that it adds any purpose other than leaking lots of fuel right next to my exhaust which is what it's currently doing! Can I just bin it do you think and replace it with some normal fuel hose?

The original tap seems to work fine, so I'm not sure why this has been added. The carb itself does not appear to leak, just this tap. 

Beta fuel taps both Rev 3 and Evo are prone to leaking, either internally, externally or both. The extra tap has probably been fitted to prevent this flooding the carb / engine.

The Beta taps can be cured, they have to be carefully polished internally. The standard rough inside stops the seals seating properly and can damage them.
