Petcock o-ring
« on: June 03, 2013, 07:27:19 AM »
I ordered the petcock rebuild kit from Murph.  I did two a few years ago on two other C-10s.  Now my dad's is dribbling.  I can't remember, does his kit come with he oval shapped o-ring to seal it to the gas tank?  I shot him an email but haven't heard back.

Edit: The answer is YES, it does come with the o-ring, it is just not exactly like the OEM.

Not sure if Murph's kit has the 0-ring but the regular rebuild kit doesn't.

I just rebuilt my petcock with a kit from Murphs and I think it DOES include a new o-ring for the base.

The kit I recieved from Murph does NOT contain the o-ring.  The kit from Murph DOES contain the o-ring, it is just not the same as the OEM oval one.  I did order an OEM from the local shop just to feel better.  Its only $4.  Might be a good add-on for Murph , although the one provided probably works fine without concern.

Edit: Had to fix this for others who might ask the same question.  I believe this kit is directly from K&L so Murph has no meaningful way to make it any better than it already is.  Murph of course has the best price on it and fastest service.  Ordered Monday, received on Wednesday!
