1979Special
XS650 Member
Hi all. New member here, so hello. I've been enjoying some of the restore threads.
I'm the new owner of a 1979 XS650 Special.
The bike has new gravity petcocks installed when my local shop was syncing the carbs. Both petcocks are leaking. (One more than the other.)
I believe they're leaking when ON/RES, but not when OFF.
I searched here and google, and came across this thread, but the petcocks look like a different design (though that may not matter.). It looks like they're leaking from the back, versus from the front.
In any case, I thought I would check in, and see if anyone had advice to offer. (Thanks in advance!)
Here's a short video of the leak.
And, here's the requisite picture of the bike.
