Topic: Leaking petcock

[Kevnz]

Sick of your petcock leaking? Mine did even after replacing the rubber disc and o rings. Looks like the issue was the lever. Those wear marks don't look significant, but after resurfacing on a flat plate with wet and dry sandpaper, it now seals properly. Easy fix. Still leaking at the carb though

Good to know. You should move this over to proven tips and tricks and how to’s.

Significant pot marks in the before picture on the surface which didn't entirely come clean, so it's easy to see how that would leak around the seal area. Fortunately these older petcocks have screws holding them together, not so with the later models with pop rivets requiring careful drilling of the rivet area.
