How to rebuild a Harley petcock off a 1978 Shovelhead FXS Lowrider, Part 2

Instead of buying a NEW petcock for the Shovelhead, I thought I'd give it a good cleaning & rebuild. Hope this helps out anyone who has ever thought about doing this but was skeptical about doing so!

Nice demonstration of unplugging the stopped up tube. I’m trying to find a rebuild kit now.

@@billmac3911 Thanks so much!! Appreciate you watching my video & checking out my channel! As usual, check eBay for kits, or check with any local small shops, they are usually a wealth of information & may even know others who might have some parts. Where are you located?

I used 100% acetone from the Dollar Store and it dissolved the varnish and old gas build-up in the tank and the petcock filter almost immediately with no scrubbing necessary. 91% Isopropyl alcohol works almost as good.
