So its possible that if yours was bad too, it could have been responsible for some of your noise.

Yeah, I lubed my up with Moly Grease like @
Motofool recommended and I didn't feel much change between before and after I reapplied it to my bike. I feel better about it now though because I did notice some slight cosmetic wear, so hopefully that stops any future wear.

Seems like it. I've looked at a bunch of other pictures of the internals and it looks fine.
I'm currently looking for a rebuild kit for my petcock, but there seems to be two types of rubber seals created for various years and I don't know which one works for my model without taking it apart again. Anyone know an easier way to find out?
