Pete, if you have a mighty vac vacuum pump put it on the vacuum line to the petcock and pump it up. It should hold vacuum indefinately. If it slowly bleeds down or won't hold, the petcock is shot.

I don't know if just taking the spring out is enough to fix it. The only problem is if the diaghram is blown on one side it may eventually blow on the other, and then you have a lot of fuel on the floor in your garage!

I took mine apart, threw the diaghram out, and made a plate out of home depot aluminum with home made gaskets on each side. I just make sure to turn the fuel off when it sits in the garage.

Also make sure the fuel line itself is not kinking when you put the tank down.

There, I wrote petcock, pump, blow, and kinky all in he same post! Beat that (no pun intended)
