the link is re tune up specs, Doug - the cap you want is a zero pressure item, not common but in the dark past I did get one from NAPA, otherwise a post in the parts wanted will likely find one .... or you could check into getting the fill neck changed over to newer style so you could use a 4# cap

You should be able to buy a 7lb cap at Canadian Tire. They have a valve on top that you flip up to release the pressure. If you leave the valve open it becomes a 0 lb cap.
