My 1981 CBX petcock is leaking, is it rebuildable or available new from Honda? Anybody got 1 for sale/trade? Is Pingle better, although it requires drilling the tank, I believe.

Andy,

I recently had the same problem with my '79. (ask Ripper

about the details!!!) "Pingel" all the way. Requires an adaptor nut. No drilling of tank. Takes approx 5 min to install.....

Thanx, Carl, I ordered it today from cbxman.com

Its on its way. BTW, they have a valve shim exchange policy, nice tip to know.
