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.
When the majority of the United States population get to be 70 years old, they will finally realize what is really important. And by then it'll be too late.

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.
