I bought a repro petcock and the thing leaked right out of the box. Please save yourself time and money and do not buy one! Nothing worse than getting your bike 99% complete and turning on the gas to have it drool out on the side of the motor.

I have ordered/received a repop petcock for the 57 model B,I have read where there are problems with the repops.
I am wondering how long these petcocks will last before they break down and start leaking and if it would be worth even putting one on or if I should just go ahead and get a pingle or an original Sportster petcock right from the start.
