Questions about a leaking Honda petcock.

That is very cool. It seems like I am having this issue with all my ATVs.

This started out really well. Then the drill got away from me and drilled down into the fuel path. Yep, that one is junk now. But wait, I just happen to have a small drawer full of carb parts. The other 110 carb I had was junk. So I kept some pieces off of it. I just happen to have another petcock. It was gunked up pretty bad though. So I ran a drill bit down the fuel paths and cleaned them out. I did the same for the other holes and used a wire wheel on my Dremel to clean it up. I drill the holes for the new screws a bit more carefully this time and it worked out great. The tap was doing more harm than good so I just used the screws to make the threads. Worked perfectly. The new screws hold the retaining plate nice and flat. Once I reassemble it I will install it on the carb and try to get some fuel to the carb again.

Very good Afterall it IS a Honda,they run forever


I'll bet you had a big grin when it started

I sure did. Even bigger when that front tire came off the ground when I hit the throttle. I had no idea that little 110 had so much torque.
