The two empty holes had connector nipples for the fuel lines to the carbs. They would have come out when the fuel lines were pulled so look at the ends of the lines and hopefully they will still be there and you can reinsert them and tap them back in place.

If they are gone the Honda parts manual does not show them as a replacement part so you will need to find another petcock to get replacements. Look on eBay and there is usually one available at a fair price.

Hope this helps.

They should be just like the one on back side of the petcock in the picture, where the crossover line from the fuel tank was placed. Copy that x2 and your in business, I wish I had that ability to copy.

One of mine pulled out too, but because my petcock has a split in it. How are these held in place -- we Brits call them spigots, the Spanish call them racors? How do they seal, I mean? I bogged mine back in with Belzona, but what's the norm?

Thanks Ed. That sort of explains why there's a split in my petcock, if they're interference fit. Old alloy, I s'pose.
