    has anyone tried rebuilding petcock with OEM gaskets ?

    Hi everyone

    I was looking around and noticed that the OEM gaskets are available for purchase for petcocks.

    I know ive been told that the rebuild kits are a bad idea. I am thinking that perhaps the soft parts in the petcock rebuild kits may be cheap or ill fitting.

    Has anyone tried to use the OEM gaskets and parts to rebuild a petcock ?


    thanks

    None of the components on the diaphragm side are available separately. Those are the parts that are usually the cause of petcock problems.

    Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)
