Than you, I like your humor. I mistake...typo.
Couple weeks ago I ordered, a tank filter, and new oring. So that show not be the problem. Next step to rebuilt the petcock. I will be picking up the rebuild kit on Tuesday. Tuesday or Wednesday I will rebuilt it. I notice some oil leaking near the valve cover. I will tighten down the nuts. It that does not work. I will order a new gasket. The rubber gasket may need replaced. The bike sat for 5 years in the florida sun. The bike was a barter, I worked 20 hours on a farm and tutored the grandson in math. Hense I am a laid off math teacher going back to college. Other than that, some tlc. The bike will be awesome after some time, polishing, and repainting. Thank you for your advice.
