Mike, that's probably what bit me too then. I forgot to say the petcock rebuild kit had metal washers that I assume was for the mounting screws.

I never could figure it out. Luckily, I had a spare that seems to be functioning properly even using the same lever, seal and wavy.

I don't remember about the jets but my CL77 was a dog at 12,000 Ft. 3% HP loss per 1000 feet is what I do remember. I run stock jets here at 6500 though.
