Frozen petcock

#1 Post by kampinguru » Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:12 pm

I have read tons of stuff on here about rebuilding petcocks. Mine is frozen and wont turn. I have new o-rings for it but I cannot get the darn thing apart. I can take the diaphragm out of the back, the knob off the front and the little plate with the Pri Res and on words but cannot pull the guts out of the thing. I want to soak it in carb cleaner to see if that will free it up. I also do not know if the plastic filter screen that goes in the tank is removalble from the thing. Cant imagine that it would hold up well to being immersed in carb cleaner. Any tips on how to get the old one apart? This is for a 1989 RZ350 F2. Thanks very much.
