Have quick petcock question
« on: February 26, 2009, 04:25:05 PM »
i have a 74 cb550 and was pulling off the fuel line from the petcock and one of the nipples came out with the line, is this a huge problem. I just tapped it back in with a hammer, is that ok?

It's OK as long as it's not leaking.

They were originally installed under force.
