Petcock is leaking, changed only front gaskets (the“y dont have diaphragm as original). Leaks from diaphragm side aswell (the little hole in the bottom plastic it seems, maybe not). New petcock is 110 eur.
Is it worth buying rebuild kit on E-bay or a new one. I am afraid, it could still leak after rebuild kit and i still have to buy a new one. Any experience on how often could you still have a problem after using rebuild kit. Do i need a complete rebuild kit with spring and front sealer ring (metal wavy one) or just the one with o-rings and diaphragm?
