Inside the end cap is a small steel plate pressed in that has a tiny hole in the middle, behind which is a thin rubber baffle - I believe this rubber swells/ deforms with age. Sometimes flipping it over works, if not I have just removed it & all works perfectly again :wink:

When this rubber baffle deforms it prevents atmospheric air back into the chamber when the engine is turned off & thus closing the tap.

Or you could buy the repair kit!

Cheers for the info, I'm goin to try and strip it down today.

Does anyone have a link to schematics for rebuilding the tap? I've got the parts from RO but have no idea how they go back together and my Haynes manual doesn't seem to have much about it.

Look on lings motorcycle parts, all the fiches are there, a great resource for getting an idea on prices & component breakdown/ assembly.

I found Mike's site really helpful, this is for 'hrc-ing' the tap but it also shows how it normally goes together: http://www.akhara.com/nc30/fueltapmod/index.html
