> im thinking i will pull the petcock and clean it or replace it.< Good plan. You'll probly find the diaphragm rubber torn/worn out. It keeps a fuel valve open when vacuum's applied (engine running) and closes the valve in the absence of vacuum (engine not running).
If it's malfunctioning, it allows raw gas to gravity feed to the float bowls -- overflowing into the intake, cylinders, air box and crankcase, causing a real mess. Rebuild kit's about $20. New petcock about $150. Add new plugs, new oil, new air/oil filters and several hours of draining/mopping/sucking raw gas/oil from everywhere it's not supposed to be. Don't ask me how I know all this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
