#112134 Reperio (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 58 Fuel petcock won't shut off 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   This has been a (minor) problem for a while. Every time I remove the tank, the petcock dribbles fuel in the off position. I have to put a piece of blanked-off fuel hose over it to stemn the flow - small I know but a nuisance nonetheless - is a rebuild kit or single o-ring the fix?

Just empty the tank and take the little screws out and lever will pull out, the gasket is right behind the lever. It isnt a very costly item if my memory is right.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
