For your petcock, if it was the gasket, it would leak all the time no matter which position it's in. It sounds like you need a new petcock to me.

BigRed350x Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 You can take apart and rebuild the stock petcock with parts from your local hardware shop like ACE hardware or TrueValue. If you don't want to deal with it any more, just buy a pingle and be done with it. Much better design anyway. While you're at your hardware shop getting the parts you need to rebuild your petcock, just pick up an easy out set for the stuck bolt. You can also drill the head of the bolt off (very carefully) and remove the cover, then grab the little stub of whats left of it with some vice grips and twist it out. In either case, your threads in your case are probably going to be buggered up, so pick up a thread tap and re-do your threads while you have the cover off. Blast the hole out with some carb cleaner as well, a lot of times dirt and sand get into the holes and when you put the bolt in it mashes the sand up in the end of the bolt hole and wont let the bolt thread in as far as it should and it strips out. easy out / drill bits / tap & die set to fix threads / new allen-head bolts for the cover.
