Petrol tap
A petrol (fuel) tap for mounting on the underside of the gas tank, also catalogued under the older number F8198.
This is a petrol tap, the shutoff valve that mounts on the underside of the fuel tank and controls flow from the tank to the carburetor. Ed's records show it under the current number 82-8198, with F8198 as the older parts-book form of the same part.

The catalog places it squarely in the gas tank figures, so it's a tank-mounted fitting rather than anything downstream in the fuel line. Beyond that, the record doesn't give us thread size, material, or which specific machine it was fitted to across the years it shows up in.
If you're matching this against what's on your bike now, bring in the old tap or snap a photo of the fitting before you order — that'll save a return trip if the thread or mounting doesn't match.
