Hello,

i would lik to restore a kz1000 petcock with a gray spigot but this spigot is leaking.
I can move or remove this spigot easy ... is it notmal?
Do i need an o-ring on this spigot or any sceller ?
Do i have to use a hammer to fix it ... ?

Thank you

Yes there is an o-ring on it and a set screw to locate it and allow for movement.

It should be a tight fit. A few light taps with a hammer might do it. If not I used a smear of JB weld to seal them. Taking a sharp punch in a few places around it could tighten it up too. I did both.
