K8 replacement petcock.
« on: July 25, 2009, 02:05:55 AM »
Hi,

Please advise if this petcock will fit a K8 tank.

Any one has an experience with this aftermarket?

Cheers

I'm not sure about that petcock.
I have rebuilt the 77-78 petcocks with some ease.
Drill out the two rivets, tap the holes, replace the o-rings, and bolt together.
This way, in the future, it's easy to do it again.

I've had pretty good success with old petcoks that have gone stiff.  I remove them, put some transmission fluid in the inlet or reserve area & let it soak for a bit then move the petcock through its range of motion.
