Petcock leaking
*sigh*, yet something else to fix on my bike. Seems like I ride it for
one day, wrench it for seven...
Got home after an 80 mile ride to some dealers in the area, the new big
bikes still don't appeal to me.
Anyway I smelled gas, raw gas. So I went into the garage to get a light
and a rag, I come out and I notice some drips on my left floorboard, yep
gas. I thought it was a loose fuel line, but its apparently not. It
seems that the front arm coming off the petcock is getting wet with gas
from the area where it comes out of the petcock.
I can't see any cracks anywhere. But I looked at the fiche.
http://tinyurl.com/5vhxf I don't see any seals in the diagrams for the
two fuel flow arms that come out of the main body. So I am wondering
if I can rebuild it or if I need to completely replace it?
Thanks
