I have a honda big red Im in need of a new gas cap.. I know you can order them new but at almost 40$ new thats a lot.... does anyone on here have one for sale that still work?. Mine will not breath.. it holds pressure and will not let air in. so its a gonner.

why not drill a new hole in it and put a breather tube in it?

It's a 1985 big red... I'm not sure if I could drill it out it does have a hole in the bottom I like to take it apart but it seems like its crimped on.

40.00 isnt a bad price for a new one IMO . I have a good used one I'll let go for 20.00 shipped . LMK

Spray some carb cleaner in there. Might get it cleaner out.

I happen to have an 85 Big Red. Do you want me to see if that 200x cap will fit the tank?

I remember reading a post about drilling a small hole somewhere in the cap to fix this problem....but I don't remember the details....I just know that some people have done it.
