Picked this up from the hoarder a while back. I bought it cuz of the cool factor. Looks to be solid, has shutoff valve. No key.
$25 plus the ride.

Cheers

I think that might be off a 73 350 triple 2 stroke you may want to ebay it.
 
Actually, I own a 750 triple and I was wondering if it was for a triple too. How many fuel nipples are on that petcock? It looks like only 2 plus the inlet......is that right?....

Some of the '72 350 tanks and tails fit the 750s, IIRC.......and if that's true, that tank would be worth a bit more than your asking......like at least $75. I see it's got at least one dent and the gas cap is pitted. How's the insides, as far as rust goes?

There is 3 nipples total on the petcock. Do all 3 feed the carbs, or would one be a "vent"?? Im not sure how the insides are as there is no key for the cap and I havent tried to remove it.

No.....that's gotta be for 3 cylinders. My 750 uses a vacuum diaphragm that opens the fuel flow when the engine starts. It has its own nipple that connects to a hose to one of the carbs. Obviously, this petcock doesn't have the large diaphragm though.....so yeah. Might be for a 350 triple, an "S-2".

Thanks CV! Good info!
 
Ebay may be the way to go if it's in fair shape.I've been fixing up a 89 450 EN Kawasaki and looked at tanks on Ebay. Some high. Some low.
