Depending on what kind of AV fuel you are using, it very well could have deteriorated the seals in the petcock (petcock is a funny word by the way) :biggrin: .

jbooker82 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Why dont you just get a new o ring for the valve for $1 from yamaha. Bet you wont find a used valve shipped on there for that price. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the ones that come up on eBay wind up selling for more than new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
