    Stupid petcock question of the day

    Ok, as I was removing the fuel line from the petcock, the brass looking part came out with it! I'm assuming this isn't supposed to happen?
    Next question, I think I know the answer but do I need to buy a whole new one or can I just shove it back in there (I know you guys frown on these rebuilds)?

      Smear some JB Weld on the outer area being carful none gets in the inside. Stick it on the hole and give it a few seating taps with the end of a screwdriver. Remove whatever accumulates on the body as you reinsert the nipple. Let it sit overnight to harden.

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
