ANYONE USE THE REPAIR KITS FROM RETROBIKES? WHAT RESULTS ARE YOU HAVING? I HAVE INSTALLED ONE BUT IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN WITH THE ALL RUBBER DESIGN, BUT IT DOES NOT LEAK.

i don't know if mine is stock or not, but it's not easy to move the lever either.

Since the petcock is so hard to turn I decided to put a lawnmower shutoff between the petcock and carb and I just left the petcock on reserve for now. This makes it much easier to shut gas supply off and run carb down and saves wear on the new petcock kit I put in.

I bought mine from Ohio Cycle. I installed it about 1 month ago and it still works great. I did put a little lithium grease on the rubber pieces. Not hard to turn. I've heard if there is alcohol in the gas, the rubber will swell. Tom

I've found that a thin layer of grease on petcock rubbers keeps them moving easily.

And I just ordered one of the retrobikes kits for my 65 CA77 so I'll report on it when I get it.
