Petcock / Fuel filter problems

S_FLeX · 01-08-2008, 11:00 AM

It seems my bike (sunL) has a "fuel filter" that is made of plastic and screws into the petcock. Its a very unusual/stupid design. Anyway plastic filter part was cracked and leaking fuel, I tried to unscrew it and it shattered into a thousand pieces leaving the actual threaded part in the petcock. Its unusable now, as there is no way to bypass the filter part.
Has anyone had any luck replacing the filter? Or for that matter the petcock? I would just as soon take the hole pectock and run an inline filter. Not sure of the thread sizes though, and the local motorcycle place will NOT give you any help unless they have a model number so they can pull a part number. Any thoughts on this guys?
