    '79 750 Petcock - Replace or Repair?

    I've got a petcock that only flows gas reliably on prime, and it's time for me to tackle that problem.

    The 10 noob mistake posts recommends buying a new one over repairing, but I can't seem to find one with the same port layout as my stock. The cheapo "universal" ones all have the ports coming out towards the rear of the bike. I've also had problems with the cheap ones on other bikes I've had. There's one used on eBay but I figure it's just a matter of time before its 45 year old rubber gives out too.

    I'm hoping someone has a success story about rebuilding their petcock or can point me to a link where I can get the proper one for my bike.

    Posting a pic of the current state of the bike just cause
