My petcock was leaking a bit whenever I would flip the lever to
another position. The leak wasn't a lot but it was enough that I was
afraid of running on reserve for any length of time and dripping raw
fuel onto the engine. I purchased a rebuild kit for the petcock and
took it apart to have a look see. After fixing the leak and putting
it all back together, the bike was acting like it was fuel starved
at 70 mph and up although it was fine at slower speeds.

I wonder if someone who has taken these apart a few times can have a
look-see at my pics and tell me if I've reassembled it correctly?

Make sure that o-ring #14 is positioned correctly. There should be a groove
in the plastic fuel strainer for it.

I used a little vaseline to lubricate it on assembly.
