Ok...
So my new valve cover gasket arrived today and I started putting everything back together. Nicely laid out fuel routing and all that fun crap...
I take the tank over to Circle K and put one gallon in it.
It's weeping from the petcock... I sort of prepared myself for this possibility since some por15 has solidified in that area, but I was hoping it was smooth/flat/even enough not to leak.. WRONG ( of course, right? )
So now I need more ideas... What can I do to stop the weeping?
I guess the trick is to get Item #10 in this BiakeBandit diagram (http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/showschematic.asp?dept_id=723769) to be fuel-tight, yes?
Can you sand down whatever is keeping it from sealing?
It seems to have changed it's tune :dunno: I can't make it leak? It just... stopped? :o :dunno:
old gasket expanded when it got wet with gas (swelling)??
my carbs started acting up again
every bike i ever buy from now on will be fuel injected. these carbs suck.
not to hijack or anything :)
Ha ha ... fuel injected ins't going to help you... those also crap out and are harder to analyse and fix...
Cool.

the guru's right on that one :(
