Simply put if a petcock is working correctly it totally turns off the gas. Looking at your sig you have a 73 750 and rubber parts etc are cheap and easy to get to replace. Make sure you still have a viable filter screen also. Petcocks can get damaged beyond repair by folks cleaning tank with caustic cleaners like toilet bowl cleaner etc. who do not remove them and plug the holes. Start with the petcock and move down from there PS-Make sure gas is not getting into your oil if you have a major leaker---- Not a good thing

Also, how would gas get in to the oil?
I did buy a kit from him and am just now getting to it. So do you recommend that I sand all the white stuff from the tanks and the petcock? Should there be no putty like substance at all to create a gasket or sorts with tank?
