Is this the same item to use on B4?
Thanks

to me it looks like it fits but i can not be sure gasket looks the same depends on if the b4 has the big square block that the diaphragm goes to

But the real problem with the B4 fuel valve is not that you can't get replacement parts, it's that you can't disassemble the valve without destroying it, right?

Someone post a pic of the b4 fuel valve please.

I've got a old one kicking around somewhere. I'll have a look. I'm pretty sure you can't take it apart though. I tried!!

Full tank of gas, and only 2 hands so no photo... but *I* don't see any way to get into the B4 OEM petcock. It's probably just pressed together for an interference fit and could come apart if done carefully, but most people would end up breaking te cast metal before getting the dumb thing apart.

Anyway, that kit looks like something straight out of a K&L Supply catalog (and marked up a bit). If someone's Truely interested (ditto for the carb rebuild kit), pull up the K&L Supply website to see who's a dealer near you and go pester them. They don't list their normal maintenance items on the website and have a TON of stuff, including fork seals and bushings, carb/petcock rebuild kits, and other general maintenace items.

Plus one for what Brian said about K&L , I've found out that most would just like to find something at one place and know that if work and have it delivered with out going anywhere.
