Petrol tap on my IoM is extremely stiff to operate. This is very annoying as the IoM has twin high level exhausts so its very hard to get your fingers to even reach the fuel tap, let alone turn it.
Because its so hard to reach/turn I can see that it has been left on in the past and the carb has leaked as there is a petrol stain on the LH engine cases. I dont like leaving fuel taps on.
Any suggestions on how to make the fuel tap turn easily?
Can they be dismantled and lubricated (some sort of petrol resistant grease, perhaps????)
