Sorry, I thought it was fittings on the carbs, not the petcock! Perhaps Loctite stud and bearing mount but I usually just tap them back in.

When you say fuel comes from both outlets, do you mean at the same time? Cuz that doesn't happen. One side will flow well and the other very little or none. BUT if I plug the flowing side the other side will flow. Is this how it should be? Also, petcock was in the off position last night and leaked all over floor. Does this mean complete replacement or just get rebuild kit?

Where does one find a 135 main jet? I hear the keyster are no bueno.

Thanks again,
Adam

They both should flow s similar amount.
Can be rebuilt.
Is it assembled correctly?
Nothing wrong with the Keyster kits for these bikes.
The 135 jet comes in the CB77 kit which I use in the CL77 carb. ..........lm

I think it's assembled correctly, based on parts diagram etc.. Is there a common rookie mistake for these? I know when I took it apart orings looked pretty worn.

Is the rubber hard?
At the flat area of the on/off lever is there a hole caused by gas?. ...........lm

Look at what others begin with, you are way ahead of the game if it is running now. On disassembly, take lots of digital pics, use seal bags for parts storage, make notes on disassembly, and try to get new parts as you can afford them. The bikes look best in as close to stock appearance as you can get it and that will give you the best resale if that ever occurs.

Remember to be patient, and before you do something you may regret, ask for advice here, and you may prevent a costly mistake.
