Petcock Rebuild - Is this the right part?

[pBrain]

I am looking to rebuild my petcock because it is leaking fuel.

Already installed a Dan-Marc cutoff, but now I want to rebuild the petcock (don't want to compromise my reserve by installing a Pingle .... yet).

Found this during a search:  http://www.amazon.com/Supply-Fuel-Petcock-Repair-18-5018/dp/B001KO4ZBU



Can anyone verify that this is the correct part I need?

Yes, that is called a Cover Set.  I used that to repair my petcock when it was leaking from the weep hole, then a few months later it crapped the bed altogether.  In my opinion this fix just buys you a little time, but yes its the right part

Damn, Chris....  Thanks for th ebad news. 

I guess i'll just bite it and get the damn Pingle.

BTW...  Did you do the RFS today?  How was it?

Spring of 2010 my petcock started leaking down the vacuum line of #6 carb. Fouled the spark plug every 50 miles. Ordered the cover set and at the same time someone posted how-to convert the petcock to manual. I gave it a try waiting for my parts. It worked ! My parts came in and are still in the bag unopened.
I like the looks, size of reserve and location of the stock petcock so I've stayed with it for 2 more years. The one thing to remember is " SHUT-OFF" the petcock when you get off the bike. I've been doing that for decades it's a natural thing to do for me.

Converted mine to manual about 4 or 5 years ago and have never looked back. I'm an old dirtbiker so turning the fuel off is a habit that I have had for years. Just remember key on/ fuel on ,  key off/fuel off. With the valk you really don't have to remember to turn the fuel on as it'll let you know to turn it on.

Our local chapter does the RFS in conjunction with Thunder Beach.  No, we didnt go this year.
