Listers, Back in May of this year I posted I had some petcock blockoff plates available for sale. They've been pretty popular and I'm now on my fourth batch. I still have a few available and thought I'd again offer them here for those interested. Below is the post I made in May. Best, Jeff <><><><><> <><><><><> Listers, A friend asked me to make him a petcock blockoff plate for his KLR. I made a few extra as I thought maybe some other KLR owners would also like to get their hands on one. I only have a limited number. They are available for $20 each. That $20 includes the blockoff plate made from 6061 aluminum, a gasket made from BUNA-N 1/16" gasket sheet, four stainless steel button head cap screws, an allen wrench that fits the cap screws and a nipple cover for the vacuum nipple on the carb. Instructions are below and if you want them printed feel free to copy them as you'd like. But wait, there's more. If it's getting shipped to the USA it also includes shipping and a stamped envelope addressed to me for you to put the $20 in. Outside the USA contact me about special arrangements like you stamping the envelope and possible additional shipping costs based on your location. That's about as risk free for you as I can make it. If you'd like one of these petcock blockoff plate setups here's how you can get one. - Send me an e-mail at: salinej1@... - Tell me you'd like to buy a petcock block off plate set up. - Give me your contact information as in your name and an address where to send it. - If you are outside the USA ask for special arrangements. I'll reply to you in the order of requests received and tell you I've got your request. When I send your petcock blockoff plate set up I'll send another e-mail letting you know it's on the way. If/when I run out of this set up I'll either let you know they are all gone or decide to make a few more and let you know you are on the list. Once you get the package you can check out the contents. If you like them, put a $20 bill (US) in the envelope and drop it in the mail to me. If you decide you don't want to buy the set up just return it. Here's installation instructions. <><><><><> KLR650 Petcock Blockoff Plate Installation Instructions This set up changes a vacuum operated KLR650 petcock to manual. It only works if the petcock has an off position. Some KLRs might have a petcock with a PRI (prime) instead of an OFF position. If your petcock has a PRI position this set up should not be used until the petcock is replaced with one with an OFF position. This set up replaces the engine side parts of the petcock eliminating the vacuum ported cover, diaphragm/plunger, spring, carb to petcock vacuum hose and other related parts. Parts you get in this set up are: -one aluminum blockoff plate -one BUNA-N gasket -four stainless steel button head cap screws -one allen wrench to fit the screws -one nipple cover for the carb vacuum port or tee Installation requires the removal of the fuel tank from the bike. If you run it almost empty you might find it easier to do this job. Turn the petcock to the OFF position. Place the tank, tipped on it's front, so you have access to the engine side of the petcock. Remove the four screws holding the back cover with vacuum port to the petcock. Remove the cover and also the diaphragm, spacer, plunger with o-ring and the spring too. Make sure the back of the petcock is clean. Install the blockoff plate and gasket to the back of the petcock with the four stainless steel button head cap screws. Hold the allen wrench near the end inserted into each cap screw. Gently tighten the four screws alternating in an "X" pattern. You should be able to feel when each screw gets tight. No need to tighten the screws so much that the gasket is deformed or "squished" out from between the petcock and blockoff plate. Remove the vacuum hose that was connected to the petcock. Put the nipple cover over the nipple on the carb. I understand smog equipped KLRs might use a vacuum tee off the carb. If that's what you have put the nipple cover over the vacuum tee that had the hose to the petcock attached. Reinstall the fuel tank and connect the fuel line to the carb. Turn the petcock on before running the engine and remember to turn it off every time you park the bike. Failure to turn the petcock off when you park the bike might not cause any issues. But if you have a leaking needle or sinking float in the carb, leaving the petcock on when the engine is not running could allow fuel to drain into the carb and cause damage to the engine. <><><><><> If you want to make one yourself a drawing of the blockoff plate can be found in this thread: http://www.klr650.net/forums/showthread.php?t=89987 Best, Jeff Saline ABC # 4412 South Dakota Airmarshal Airheads Beemer Club www.airheads.org The Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota 75 R90/6, 03 KLR650, 79 R100RT . . ____________________________________________________________ Mortgage Rate at 2.63% $200,000 loan for $803/month.
