I've got a 3500S so not sure if this relates to all the P6s but I'm trying to track down a working reserve valve, or someone who knows if there is a kit to fix it. There's a 3500S gas tank on ebay, but I'd rather try to find a good used valve than to buy the whole gas tank.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated.<br>

In the 2000TC the reserve valve is on the right side of the engine<br>
compartment and completely removed from the gas tank. I don't recall ever<br>
looking for that valve on my 3500S. The valve is quite simple and can be<br>
rebuilt by changing the O rings. I watched the late Ron Jones rebuild the<br>
one on my '67 TC in late '82 with hardware store O rings.<br>

Odd. I would swear that my early 2000TC has the valve right on the tank. Did the valve move over the years?<br>
