is there an aftermarket gas cap for a 1985 Honda Goldwing gl1200 Aspy


RE: gas cap - SIR tricky - 03-30-2015

I was having problems with my gas cap, it wasnt allowing air into the tank and about half way the engine would quit, I had to refill the tank every 100 K

I soaked the cap overnight in Seafoam, I was amazed how much junk came out of the cap, been OK since then


RE: gas cap - bs175dths - 03-30-2015

I was getting the 'whoosh' sound when I opened my gas cap, but was not getting a performance side effect.
The 'whoooshing' has ended since getting back to using the bike on a regular basis, but soaking is Seafoam sounds like an excellent idea for these old caps which have been passing years of vapor. (there is a joke in there somewhere)
-Thanks
