Leaky Petcock

My fuel petcock has sprung a leak. The leak seems to be coming from the junction of the petcock body and the metal tube for attaching the fule line. It also seems to be coming from the seam shown in the left circle. It's possible that could be some wierd capillary action from the other leak site. I dunno.

Anyway, is there a way to flow in some soldier or something to plug these leaks? It leaks in both the on and off positions. The inside of the petcock is lined with rubber, and perhaps that is what has failed. I checked Z1Ent and other places and couldn't find replacement rubber. Z1Ent doesn't have a replacement petcock. I saw one on a site a while back, but can't find it now.

Non vacuum, two fuel line attachment tubes.

Unless your a purist....go with a Pingel. A lot less headaches.

I'm don't know what a Pingel is. I do like to keep it pretty stock, but the petcock is a constant, though low level, PITA.

Here's one from Z1 Enterprizes,but it's listed as "Out of stock",but get ahold of Jeff,and see if He might have something else You can use.
The Pingel IS a great petcock though...well worth the money.

Why not buzz on over to Chinden Blvd
and visit the motorcycle salvage yard.?

He's got lots of tanks and parts. He
also has new parts.
