Ok, so I told my brother I'd ask. My nephew just got his tank repainted and is going to reinstall the petcock. he's got a new o-ring and those little washer gaskets for the screws. Any idea how tight to cinch the screws down? Or "just what feels tight"

Just looked in the manual for my 850, there is no specific torque listed for petcock bolts, so I would just use the generic value for 6mm bolts, which is 3.0 to 5.0 lb-ft.
