    It's getting warmer...

    Unfortunately I have to store my bikes in an unheated garage.
    The fuel petcock on Maxim-X seems wet with gas... It started a week or so ago.

    The weather has been up and down all winter. This has never happened to me before.
    Is this normal?
    or was there probably a little water or something in there that has blown a seal?

    Thanks

    Time to order parts! It's an easy job, just be sure you sand all the surfaces down real well

    Yes I'm being pedantic. but in this case it's warranted. Sandpaper should not go anywhere near a sealing surface.

    Thank you @k-moe. You are quite correct.
