Yes, you probably will need to rebuild the petcock. You might want to inspect it first. In my experience the O-ring on the tap lever can stretch by rubbing against its housing and cease sealing. I now apply a little grease to it once in a while. I don't remember if it can be bought separately though it does have a part number # 92055-1085. Also, I've noticed crud from the tank can find its way in there. I suppose that could rest on one of the soft parts and cause a leak. Again, take a look.

Kawi sells no kit per se, just need the replacement diaphragm and o-ring and gasket. Fred at arrowhead sells a kit I believe. Diaphragm 028-1033 O-Ring 92055-1085 Gasket 43049-1103 There's also another base o-ring between the petcock and tank O-Ring 51039-003 Do a parts lookup at Buykawasaki.com to double check.

My local dealer *gasp* actually had one in stock and only $12 for the little thing, there are "fixes" that can be done, but putting the diaphram back in made the most sense to me. The gas sprays towards the starter out that little hole hey ? Dooden A15 Green Ape> > Just discovered that petcock is leaking when the engine is running.

Gotta respect the Corpsmen... Arrrrgh.... Batten the hatches.... Dooden A15 Green Ape> My petcock was leaking one time in Subic Bay, but a > quick trip to the base corpman, I was good as new..
Kit to rebuit the petcock cost me like $12 even in this one pony town. More of a surprise was that they had it onhand... Spitting is from the pulses of the vacuum I bet.
