vendor friday ** petcock blockoff plates for sale**
Listers,
Thought I'd bother you with this one more time. There were enough
requests after the post last week that I ended up making a second batch
to fill all the requests. I still have a couple of blockoff set ups
left. You can read about them below if you'd like.
I checked with the post office last week. For folks in Canada and
Australia the shipping is very reasonable (but the paperwork I have to do
isn't). I'll still include a self addressed envelope but you'll get to
stamp it.
I don't expect to make more this summer so first come, first served.
Maybe I'll post this again in the fall.
Best,
Jeff Saline

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.

good to be back
You probably did not miss me but I sure have missed my 650 and this forum for the past 3 years. It's a long story and perhaps I will share some of it here. Good to see names I remember such as Martin and Fred.
Just wanted to say hello again. Sorta' strange to be so maudlin about an internet forum. This place feels like family. I sure do have some good memories about the time I spent here in the past. I learned so much here. Thank You. Thanks all of you that helped me back when. I hope I can contribute again as much as I have been helped in the past.
As a short aside one of the most life changing things that happened to me on this forum was a Canadian that directed me to Mexico for dental work from this forum....another long story.
Crazy how things happen.
