petcock WAS from ohio cycle $57.00

3G Thanks for the speedy reply. I double dug through my receipts and mine was from ohio cycle also. Paid$57 for it so it probably was NOS. No complaint at all with Ohio cycle, rebuild kit was high quality OEM looking. I'm thinking maybe the old rubber isn't compatible with the new crappy gas? is the...

Stuck nuts ? Cut/ground them off with my dremel

I completely agree, its the best to cut the nuts off to avoid damage to the trim strip. the screws on mine were too short to re-use in any event (not sure how they made it work in 65, but those Japanese were crafty) thanks to the many members who helped me with this question.
