Carb Issues (previously Petcock leaking at pinhole)
I receive the petcock disassembled in a box. I have installed new seals, but I dont think I have it back together correctly.
There is a small pinhole that goes into the diaphragm cavity, that has fuel pouring out of it, when in the res or pri position. when in the res position fuel also runs out of the the fuel line as if it were getting vacuum from the carb boot.
I have the metal disc side of the diaphragm sitting in the recessed of the spacer plate. There is a pin hole made into one of the diaphragm rubbers that I have aligned with the same pin hole in the spacer plate and also aligne with the pin hole in the outer petcock housing.
For the record I have read the "how to repair your starving leaking petcock" and anything else I can find. I have even look at all the parts fiche I can find, but they only show the front side of the petcock not the diaphragm side.
Any thoughts or ideas.
