Hey guys . I just got mine painted a few months back .
got everything back together and realized the seals in the vacum petcock were shot . I ordered and have a new non-vacuum type comin .

Heres my question , the other one that was shot , ....
Is it possible that this could run me lean at top end ,
and could this same thing be why it never started worth a damn recently , almost always had to kick start.

and john , if those needles make a difference , i need to get a set from ya.

I'm not sure a bad petcock would cause those symptoms. The problem with a bad petcock is it doesn't stop flowing when it should, not that it doesn't flow. It flows all the time.
