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: . Quote
jbooker82 Posted May 14, 2007 Report 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

Most of the ones that come up on eBay wind up selling for more than new. Quote
