1998 EV gas cap gasket?
« on: November 17, 2016, 09:04:13 AM »
On my way down and back from Swampscooters I kept getting a whiff of raw gas.  Never could find a leak anywhere.  This morning I discovered that the rubber gasket on the gas cap had jumped ship somewhere.  Can't find a replacement.   Plenty for earlier loop frames.  Anyone have a lead?
Thanks

You mean the gasket that is part of the CAP itself?

Good judgement comes from experience.
And experience. That comes from poor judgement.

someone with a lathe could make concentric cutters and fabricate a gasket.  Better use Viton as any other material will swell.  Not cheap.  Probably more practical to buy a new gas cap and then relocate your existing lock into the new cap.

Looks like Harpers has it.  Ad says it will fit many early models but the dimensions are the same as the EV's.   $4.00
