Hi William, I sent you a private message email so we can arrange getting my
CB650 petcock screen sent to you to try. Jim

One caveat as to buying a replacement petcock, something to be aware of...
The original petcock on my 83 650SC would leak when turned to Reserve. I
bought an aftermarket petcock, installed it; all seemed fine, until I would
accelerate hard up long grades - suddenly I would lose power, and have to
You can type
Nighthawk Petcock into ebay and buy a new old part or a replacement as long
as you check the fit of parts before you buy.
Hello Jim,
I'd like to get your strainer screen, please.
All I can offer you in return is that I can return it to you if it doesn't
work/fit.
How can I arrange paying for the postage? If you don't know, I can ask
someone at the PO.
Thanks, William

Mike, Jim, Ian, and Drew,
many thanks for the inputs.
Jim, I'd like to take your offer of the '84 650 screen that you have, I'll
write to your email.
If/when I get it, I'll post what the result is.
One interesting item that I didn't write about, but may be related to not
having a petcock
Let us, (me) know when you find one. Seems too be pretty unique.

Petcocks are not unique to old bikes. A few companies sourced their parts
from the same factories in Japan, so if you too measurements with
caliapers, you'd find that one strainer tube is the same as another.
You could also just use an aftermarket Petcock, and aftermarket internals.

Ian, it's I no longer available on this planet.

I think you should find the strainer tube that goes over the feed tube on
your petcock. The reason why; if any chunks of rust or debris floats down
and into the gas inlet orifice, it could restrict the flow of gas, or stop
gas delivery all together. The in-line fuel filter is a secondary filter,
I have a Petcock to tank screen from an 84 CB650SC. If they are the same you
can have it, just pay postage from New Hampshire 03063. Jim.

Definitely remove the little cup and plastic screen. Very easy to do. If there
are chunks of rust in there you know you need to find a screen for your tank.
Apply a lil 3-in-1 oil to to the oring and cup threads while reassembling.

It could be worth it. It's just a little cup with an o-ring and the screen.
Requiring servicing really depends on the condition of everything.. if the
bike never acts like it's starved for fuel, I wouldn't.

The screens are shared across two or three manufacturers from back then. So
look at the part and then look at a petcock from a different year if you
are obsessive.

You could probably look forever and not find another Petcock screen,
discontinued and hard to come by intact. There's also a small strainer
filter in the bottom of the petcock bowl.

If you have an inline, it's covered. I'd swap it out twice a year to be
sure.

Hello All,
I took the petcock off today, intending to inspect/clean out the strainer,
only to find there's not one there, just the bare tube.
The prior owner put on an inline filter, which looks clean and new still.
Question: should I even worry about finding a strainer screen to put on the
fuel
