Just a suggestion, but you might want to soak those 'rubber' gaskets
in gasoline for a few days to see what happens to them. Easier to watch
them swell and fall apart in a jar on your workbench than on the side of
the road. Just a thought, 'cause it happened to me....

| Be advised.... There are two versoins of the Guzzi petcock.. The V700 are different than Ambo/Eldo ones.. as I understand. I got some rubber ones from a lister. Haven't put them in yet.... John Chicoine wrote:
