Fuel tap issues

Hi

My NC30 has never had the vacuum membrane in the fuel tap, and the tap leaks slightly when off. This means if the needle and seats ever fail to seal I am in trouble.

Any suggestions? Are new vacuum membranes available? Can the tap be serviced or new ones obtained. I feel its a ticking timebomb.

Thanks

Rick Oliver sells fuel tap rebuild kits that includes the diaphram, could be a good option.

leaking tap sticking float valve probably the only way to kill an nc30 engine other than a silver bullet as i found out on my trackbike petrol in the oil not a good thing .
