Glad you have it solved (for now) word of warning from one whos been there....I did the rebuild thing, was very happy for a while then the switch side wore out. That OEM thing is a piece of junk...once you start needing to rebuild it, its life is almost over, dont get to comfy with it

what is the best option for a new petcock .My Valkyrie has about 100000mi on it and I have no service history so am doing a bit of catch-up untill spring untill we are back on the road again. One thing that is nice is the vacuum shut-off for the times when I forget to shut off the valve.
