I was doing some work on the fuel lines and petcock when it fell apart. I got everything put back together but now it leaks when I'm running on reserve. I've tried to get it to stop but can't. Any suggestions? What am I overlooking?
I think there's a spring that goes in the petcock that puts pressure on the internals to keep them snug. I lost it once without realizing it and it leaked. Got a spring from Ben2go on this forum and fixed the prob. Hope that's it.

my tank and fuel selector switch both started leaking recently. I bought a new petc*ck off ebay for $55 shipped. Worked perfect and I don't have to worry about coming home to a floor covered in gas...
