Fuel level adjustment YM-01312 tool and adapter

Does anyone have this tool in the UK for sale or loan?

 

Is this it?

Yes mate, I have seen it on there thought one might be a bit closer.

 

Have you checked with local dealers Yamaha, kawasaki etc these tools were in every manufacturers tool catalogue and should still be available. I have one from kawasaki that looks the same. Found a listing for it on eBay.

 

I wouldn't ask dealers any where I live nearby there not the approachable type if you know what I mean! To be honest it's not the gauge or tube so much am interested in, it's the adapter that attaches to the float bowl which i can always attach a piece of tube to. The tube itself is useless without the adapter as it won't seal to the hole on the bowl unless u have the adapter or you'll have petrol everywhere, and its too expensive to buy on here and ship to the UK for what it is.

 

Not sure if the kawasaki one would fit anyway but yeah I have seen it on there.

 

Do you have something like our Harbor Freight? Specializes in cheap tools. I use the black plastic fitting for bleeding brakes, fits nicely into the carb bowl for setting fuel levels.

 

Managed to measure the size of the hole get it to about 2.4mm. So would I require a piece of tubing 2.4mm outer diameter? To fit snuggly in the hole to stop any leaks.

chacal sells the fitting but would be costly for you

 

Yeah works out like 40-50 dollars, thanks for the post I'll try and fashion one up home made style.

 

this is a simple solution I came up with.
If you've ever bought a replacement battery (unsealed) you probably have the tubing on hand.
Use the insulators from these closed end electric terminals to stiffen the tubing.

 

Managed to make one in the end, hope it works thanks simmy

 

I knew I saw that somewhere. Could you do a short writeup and put it in the DYI section for me to pin?

 

Hi yeah sure I'll add it tomorrow thanks.

 

Hi,

Sorry I posted in the wrong section like you said should of been in d.i.y.. I'll remember in future as I know you've had to move a load stuff over to the technical section from the d.i.y. Thanks

 

always nice when people think outside the box

 

No worries. I moved that post and used it to start a DYI thread. I much prefer that to finding that I need to spend a weekend cleaning the DYI section up. There are still old posts from years ago that I need to weed out.

 

There is no box.
