Even better, she was going to work!
YES. I'm pulling carbs today, final time? fingers crossed. The vacuum petcock crapped out, full flow full time. suspect the oring I used on the diapragm tip swelled. Good news; float valves are working PERFECTLY! no gas in crankcase. Whew.Ideal!!
How was the commute today - did the return go as smoothly as the outbound stage?

I found that o-ring to be very sensitive. I ended up using the old one for the rebuild because the new one in the kit immediately passed gas...YES.

That was the Final Solution. Not epoxy though, but Seal-All whatever it is. It's advertised as, and seems to be, impervious to gas. Get rid of the plastic wafer and glue the two halves together with with rubberized gasket paper between them. Down is run, and forward and back are both reserve. Tuck one of those red lawnmower valves in neatly downstream.I still remember your epoxy vacuum petcock solution!! Especially when tthis one wouldn't shut off! Will be lookin' inside soon.
