I disassembled them and found the piece was a bit worn and did not provide the over center lock anymore. I filed a new surface on it with the proper angle and it works again like new.

The pin in latch broke so I can't get a grip on post. Any suggestions??? O.K. _____ From: owner-pulsar-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pulsar-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Ron Koval Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 1:09 PM Subject: Pulsar-List: Fuel Cap Update Pulsar Owners, For those with the Usher UD3 fuel cap this may be of interest. Over the years the fuel cap on the header tank of my Pulsar increasingly became harder to have the release lever snap closed and flush with the rest of the cap and its installation ring. I replaced the two O-rings (large outside and small inner) with no effect on how well it closed. I contacted Usher and they sent me a stainless steel piece to replace the small rectangular rubber piece (gasket like thing) that the handle presses into when the cap is engaged closed. What a difference!!! The cap lever now snaps in place, truly flush. I can more easily adjust the fit, turning the bottom half disc and drawing up the lock nut. I understand there was a time when Usher made this change to the fuel caps they were producing. May be worthwhile checking if you have this type. I don't see this replacement part at Aircraft Spruce so I believe that the only source is Usher directly. Fun, safe flying, Ronko ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pulsar-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pulsar-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pulsar-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pulsar-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
