Dripping PetcockDripping PetcockGood morning everyone,
After 1-1/2 years I am almost ready to take a test ride on my '67 CL77. I appreciate all the help in the past but now seem to have one remaining issue. After cleaning the petcock I have a constant drip (one drip per second) coming from either one of the nipples when the valve is in the off position. I have replaced the valve packing (rubber washer) and the valve lever spring (metal compression washer). Does anyone have an opinion as to what might be the problem? I tried to upload some pictures but can't seem to get the site to accept them. Thanks for you time! MrBurnn
Dripping pet cockI fought the same trouble for a while. Ended up buying a more complete kit from Scrambler Cycle on eBay for like $12 + shipping. Fixed my issue.
Interesting comment concerning the two attachment (to the tank) screws. I can't find a parts list that shows the screws let alone the rubber washers. I did not use rubber washers when I attached the petcock to the tank. Would gas leaking around the screws somehow bypass the on / off lever seal?
