Petcock Reassembly HELP!

ok guys so you all will make fun of me. last night i disassembled my petcock late at night. usualy i take photos of how i removed the components and document each part. i know anal.

last night when i was taking apart the petcock i neglected to take my photos and left it till tonight. when trying to reassemble i forget which parts go where.

i know i feel really stupid.

anyone have any info on how to reassemble?

 

Your petcock is probably the same or similar. This may help.

Or go here.

 

thanks guys but i took the whoel thing apart. lol not just the toggle. i know how to put the toggle back together i just dont know about the diagphram part? does the spring to between the diagphram and the unit or the diagphram and the plate that you screw on?

 

Between the plate and diaphragm. The spring keeps it closed - vacuum pulls it open

 

boy i wish i got a hold of these hints before i took mine apart! here i was missing the spring (must've sprung off during disassembling/cleaning) and i never knew about it. I learned fast since gas was filling up my oil tank and leaking everywhere... i was lucky to find a guy across the country through online help and am back on the road without any leaks. the vacuum idea of these either make or break your success with gas problems...

 

thanks guys i wasnt sure if it kept it closed or open thanks for the info should help inn the reassembly

thanks again
