Pedcock repairs

I was into the Suzuki TS 185's '71/'72 before the husqvarnas. The old Suzuki had plenty of leaky peacocks. I had the replacement rubber washer left in stock. I had one leaky husky pedcock. I found out I could squeeze and stretch the Suzuki rubber pedcock washer into the husky pedcock body. Once I had it in place I used the lever to burnish it into the washer to form the seal. I wanted it perfect. I assembled it and it worked perfect. The Suzuki dealer luckily had these old parts in stock.

Bill thanks for sharing this info. Found this TS 185 petcock packing on Ebay, does this look like the one that you got to work in your Husky petcock?

Yes. You can push it into place then use the lever/pan to push it in more then burnish into place so she seals. The valve is a tad tighter to turn but she works.
