fuel tap with reserve

Does anyone have any experience using these?

I am assuming that the lever is a reserve over the push/pull valve below it.
There was not much of a description to go with it.

Hi Franko

I tried one on my 1956 James Colonel , After soaking it in petrol for two days, to allow the corks to swell it still leaked from the reserve leaver, these are nasty copies of the original.

Esmerela: Thanks for letting me know. I was wishing it would work. I've been spoiled by the reserve set up on my airhead.

I got one from Hitchcock's for my ES2 a couple years ago, no way to know if it's the same manufacture, but it sure cost more than that. Mine has worked fine, no leaks, however I had to make an extension for the reserve standtube to make it useful. The Indian made copies are absolute junk, rubber internals that don't line up, and leaky.

Interbank: Thanks for the tip on Hitchcocks.
