leaking petcock housing

[bikerphil]

For 80-82 carbs you would have to go down rather than up, but I think it could still be done. I think I would keep the cable in it's sleeve though, it might give more ability to position it differently.

Yep, it would be nice to have on those carbs although the adjustment is a tad bit easier. I've found it to be nice to have the remote adjuster for 2 reasons when riding. When stuck in heavy traffic on a super hot day, the idle can be easily upped when the idle drops because of too much heat expansion. Another is high altitude change when riding up in the mountains, my bikes idle much lower. I wish i didn't have to travel 500 miles to go ride in the mountains. Anyhoo.

If money's not a problem

Why not just rebuild the petcocks && keep em both?
