The unnumbered spring metal washer ring goes between the lever and cover plate, as shown in the diagram.jbeebe1 wrote: ...on the lever side of the petcock there is a metal washer/ring. Does that go in between the lever and the rubber gasket, or between the lever and the cover plate?....

Ok I had it separating the lever and the gasket. Could that have caused my problem?

Could have let the gas flow like the Amazon no matter the lever position or if the bike is running or not. :lol:
Hoping gasket 11009A hasn't been damaged.

I'm probably going to pull the trigger on this manual one:
I'm just worried about the line coming out of the side like that and interfering with stuff.
Although it's aftermarket, i'm hoping it holds up and doesn't leak. Let me know what you think.

Just like that. Me and my dad casted an aluminum mount for the tank and i drilled and tapped the holes for the valve. The line out is actually a small piece of metal brake line and the gasket that seals the mounting plate to the tank is bicycle inter tube from some old tires we had laying around.
