petcock for mid 70s gas tank

I tried the sanding trick and it worked. Gasket started out .140" thick and I sanded it down to .110" worked smooth but not too easy. Definitely doesn't feel like the lever will break. Hopefully it doesn't leak . Thanks Crash!

I found out that four hole washer for the gas shut off valve the one from a 72/77 Suzuki ts 185 can be carefully inserted into the husqvarna valve. I repaired the leaky valves this way. I installed the Suzuki four hole washer in the husky valve body then I used the husky lever to push it level by working it while pushing in on it. It worked awesome.

We started off riding a Suzuki first then we went to the huskys. The four hole gas washer was the first thing we replaced on all the suzuki ts bikes we has rescued.

I still have the Suzuki four hole rubber in my parts cabinet after all these years of not riding.

My point is never, never throw anything away.

you are correct, it pays to hold on to stuff. making the right call as to what to keep or pitch is tough

I've become a hoarder. I'm into old cub cadets, IH cub tractors too. I have most of the new and used parts for everything. Same thing I did with the huskys in the past. So many hobbies and so little time.

But never, ever throw away parts.
