My petcock was allowing fuel to flow in the off position. Replaced the 4 hole rubber packing with a new Honda part and it still flows in the off position almost as much as the on position. I'm stumped!
Everything looks OK, the spring/wave washer still looks good. I have it in the correct order (rubber packing, petcock lever, spring washer, outer plate). I have tried loosening and tightening the screws that hold the outer plate but it didn't make a difference.
The only thing that I see that could be a possibility is that only 1 hole has a nipple (the one on the left). The other 2 holes are smooth; should they have a nipple that is missing for some reason?
I can buy a new petcock if I have to but I don't understand how this could be flowing. What if I try to bend the spring/wave washer to put more pressure on the rubber gasket?
Thanks for any help
