I was riding today and happend to lowside the bike (fell on the left side). When I picked it up I noticed that I was leaking gas..and fast. The 90* fitting that comes out of the petcock had come out. Is this just presed in? It looks like it is, but when I try to put it back in it just won't go. I've tried using a c-clamp too. If it is pressed in, then it must take alot more force to get it in than I'm unsing. Thanks

Buy a new one. It's not worth messing with it when it happens next time.

imo

I accidently pulled mine out while wrestling with the carb and was afraid the replacement wouldn't be any better. I epoxied mine in with Marine Tex (marine epoxy that is unaffected by gasoline) and I think it's in for the duration

I got an E-mail from Jeff saying that a used one would run me $20. I'm assuming this includes everything but the gasket.
