Fuel Petcock for Carbuerated Hawk 250

wally · Yesterday, 01:39 PM

After awhile of storing it outside under a cover, I have the Hawk back in my garage and the fuel petcock is slowly dripping. It seems to be coming out of the selector switch itself.

Has anyone replaced it and have the part # or a link handy for a quality replacement?

I have found some that claim to be for the bike on amazon like so:

But I'd like to crossover to a better one if possible.

Get a real good look at the weld that attaches the petcock to the tank. Run your finger along it. See if it's wet. I'll bet it is.

If so, take the tank off, drain it and JB Weld around the actual weld. Put a vacuum to the tank to suck the JB Weld inwards. Worked pretty good on mine. There is a YouTube video of a guy showing you how to do it.

The quality of China welding, and the metal itself, aren't quite up to standard. Pinholes either exist from the gate or develop over time.
