Leaky Petcock on Your Motorcycle?
Don't Ignore It!
Fuel Flow Issues Can Be a Major Hazard
If you've noticed fuel leaking from your motorcycle's petcock, it's important to take action immediately. A leaky petcock can allow fuel to flow through the petcock and onto the ground, creating a fire hazard. In addition, a leaky petcock can cause your motorcycle to run poorly or even stall.
To repair a leaky petcock, you'll need to drain the fuel from the tank and remove the petcock. Once the petcock is removed, you can inspect it for damage. If the diaphragm is torn or damaged, it will need to be replaced. You can also clean the petcock and the fuel filter screen to ensure that they are working properly.
Once the petcock is repaired, you can reinstall it and fill the fuel tank. Be sure to check for leaks before starting your motorcycle.
If you're not comfortable repairing a leaky petcock yourself, you can take your motorcycle to a mechanic. A mechanic can quickly and easily repair the petcock and get you back on the road.
