1983 Petcock and small fuel leaks

[PHM]

I have tried to find a rebuild kit for my 1983 petcock with no luck.  I replaced some gaskets, but still have an annoying small fuel drip.  Then I remembered on my old service truck's Kohler engine had a leak on the fuel tank, and was not available to replace.  So about 8 years ago we applied a product called SEAL ALL , made in the USA, well to this day it still does not leak.  So I bought a tube and applied it around the petcock and no more drip.  It comes in a tube like silicon and with fuel still in it you just apply and within minutes stops the leak.  If you have a small fuel tank leak or like my petcock,, try it, for six bucks, heck my service trucks tank still does leak to this day.

Lucky actually hand made  new diaphrams for his. This is one reason I don;t like the '83 carbs and petcock. There a PITA.
