carb and petcock refurb

Member sent both carbset and petcock for review....carb service went well, nothing new there....but the petcock a bit problematic.

Visible intense internal corrosion in addition to both mesh pre screens being MIA. The owner granted me permission to experiment in a last ditch attempt to save $90 or so on the cost of a new petcock. Some inventive thinking and utilization of ZX600 screens netted success. Shall we call it a "FRANKEN-cock"?

Petcock pics reveal before/after corrosion. Screens not yet fitted.
Carbs like new. I'm glad he sent the petcock, I'll be suggesting sending along with carbs in the future. Important as the carbs are dependent on clean, correct petcock function, I'll be incorporating this into future carb service.

In preparation, I've ordered petcock kits and other related components for stock to enable future petcock repairs as needed.
