Hello all. I'm hoping someone can offer some advice. Ive just rebuilt both my fuel taps as they leaked quiet badly. I used a good quality kit. Once done I put fresh fuel in and it started seeping out of the 2 bolt holes on both taps... Is there meant to be a fibre washer on these bolts?

A rubber o ring on each I think

Yep part number 90202-06010-00

But double check that number against the fiche.

Mezo.

thanks guys. im not sure if that part number is the kit i ordered. here is a picture of the kit i bought for each side



it was an easy job to be honest. i cleaned everything really well.



you can see the old seal in there. i put the new one in after cleaning it all up...is this the seal you are refering to?



all installed and ready to go. but as soon as i put fuel in , it leaked down the threads of the main to bolts. its as if they go straight into the tank and the fuel is running down them and dripping

I thought it was a fibrous washer used? been ages since i did mine, Yamaha`s description is WASHER,PLATE useful.

Mezo.

That is correct, a fiber washer goes under each screw. they seal against the flange of the screw. I usually put a bit of Yamabond on the seal between the tank and fuel valve. No leaks.

massive thanks guys....i will be off out first thing to buy some fibre washers...i will let you know how it goes

I use copper washers on the tap bolts, I also anneal them first

I bought a bag of sealing washers (MC Master Carr), they have a rubber inside with a steel outer strip to contain the rubber . I also usually put a little Moto Seal on the bolt threads themselves just to create a second line of defense. Don't get carries away with the amount , just enough to fill the voids and let sit overnight to cure fully. RVT won't work.
