Thanks for the heads-up Nick and slopoke - I'll check on the petcock tomorrow when it's been sitting overnight. I mounted the in-line fuel filter today. I will also need to get some new spark plugs before I can ride again, as it only starts up on three cylinders right now.
Daveo : you are probably right, as it did cover every aspect of the bike. I might shell out for it later, but right now I cannot afford it.

Hmm...checked on the petcock today, the petcock itself seems to sweat a tiny amount of fuel from it's bottom (onto the engine), but when I removed the fuel line there was extremely little, if any, fuel there.
For now I can ride with it, as I'll be using the bike quite a lot once I get those spark plugs - but I want to fix it before putting the bike away for storage after the season is over. I'll look into those Pingle valves - does anyone have a favorite model ?

Oil ratings
As far as the SE rating goes, you aren't gonna find it anymore. It was an automotive rating for 1979 and older cars. For the most part, each succsesive rating is 'better' than the previous, with lower phosphorous, impurities, etc etc. Current popular is SJ (with SK out now I think).
Table from API website:
SJ
Current
Introduced in the API Service Symbol in 1996. For all automotive engines presently in use.
SH
Obsolete
For model year 1996 and older engines. Valid when preceded by certain C categories.
SG
Obsolete
For model year 1993 and older engines.
SF
Obsolete
For 1988 and older engines.
SE
Obsolete
For 1979 and older engines.
SD
Obsolete
For 1971 and older engines.
SC
Obsolete
For 1967 and older engines.
SB
Obsolete
For older engines. Use only when specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
SA
Obsolete
For older engines; no performance requirement. Use only when specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
Hope this helps..... :roll:

How about I just keep my name in the signature, that'll save me some work. If I had to open up the spare e-mail I've got it would mean I had to spend time I'd much rather spend discussing and riding. :wink:
All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. :twisted:
Also it's kind of a habit, I use this nickname on all internet forums and disucssion groups. Makes it easier to find me (for other people).
Now please, tell me your way of fixing the leaky petcock. I'm all ears, or eyes 8O

I personally really appreciate what you have done by putting your real name in the signature. How about helping me to learn how to pronounce your nick name and if you care to then please tell me what it means. I wouldnt change my nick name if i were you. It certantly attracts my attention 8O even if i dont know what it means.

Fix it right with a repair kit. I found this on Ebay, but I would think you could find K&L at a local shop in Norway.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410425279&category=35597
You can go with a Pingel, but you have to make sure you turn it off every time you shut the bike or you run the risk of putting gas in the crankcase. I prefer a properly working stock petcock.
To each his own, I suppose.

slopoke : well the first part of the nick is easy, just say "diesel" - the mink part..hm...minx but with no "s" at the end. Hope that made sense.
Dieselmink is apparantly slang for tank driver in the norwegian military, if you're in the infantry you're a regular "mink". I was planning on being in the cavalry when I did my duty - but it looks like I'll be an electronics service technician instead. And I thought it was a cool (though oddball) nick. So far I haven't had any problems with people calling themselves the same as me.
Oh and if you're wondering why the nick is an "e" short, the reason is that on EFnet's IRC servers the nicks can have a maximum length of nine characters
Mink:
G man : I'll check up on those repair kits with my local bike shop, if they can't get any I'll check out the price for a new petcock. Took the bike out for it's first ride with new spark plugs today - after the prerequisite amount of winter-storage hiccups she's now running smooth (and loud :mrgreen: )

Since the original poster made a confession, I'll make one too. I haven't changed the oil filter in my 850 in at least 10 years. I do keep the oil changed frequently though.

Scotty:he tried that already and I STILL can't pronounce it :? Maybe if it is pronounced "phonetically"?BTW Oivand I think you may have ruined the resistor in your spark plug connector.A simple fix is to get BR8ES resistor sparkplugs and eliminate the resistors on the porcelane.Replace them with a strait end and boot.Works fine on my 79 GS850.
Could your name be pronounced "Ivan" ?

Why do you say that about my plugs ? I fitted fresh DR8ES-L plugs yesterday and the bike runs fine, tanked her up on 98 un-leaded. The carbs need work though, that's the next area I need to focus on.
And no it's not pronounced "Ivan" :x

that is really a bad thing to do or should I say, Not to do. Oil filters do NEED changed. They are not generally considered a marketing scam by the filter makers.
Not changing it means its gotta be somewhat blocked from all the things it has been filtering, which means your engine is running with less oil flow than it should have. There is no oil no matter how new you keep it, that will protect unless it can get to the parts that need protected.
