My 750 had a leaky petcock from the git go. It would still dispense fuel even when turned off. I put it off.
One night i was awaken at 3:30am to the strong smell of gasoline(garage/apartment). It had puked 1.5-2 gallons of fuel onto my floor. If i would have had a gas hot water heater, my house without a doubt would have exploded.
So i picked up a set of nylon washers to replace the felt ones that were messed up. It fixed it.
Flash forward to yesterday. I put in a new clutch pack. All went smoothish and i took the bike out for a spin. Clutch was slipping at certain times. It shouldn't have. Everything was good to go.
Today when looking at the bike i noticed a puddle of raw gas. There was a drip of fuel on one of my carb overflow tubes. I touched it and fuel came pouring out. The orings failed i guess. The overflow tube was plugged and it poured about .5 gallon of fuel into my cylinder and the oil level in my tank was all the more proof i needed.
This #$%*ing thing is coming off my bike.
Long story short, is there a good bolt on replacement outside of the OEM type?
