Since this 3 way valve is mostly plastic, hard to find parts unless you tore it apart and tried to find matching internal valve and gaskets. Not worth the trouble! Cheaper in the long run just to replace the petcock. OPT

Any good source for this part? All I have found is ebay and it was $50.00!!! The problem I have with this petcock is not only that it won't stop the flow of gas to the carb (I installed an universal valve shut off for that) but that it is leaking and dripping gas into the atv which I tend to consider that a safety issue.
Thanks for all your help.

If its truly a safety issue then cost is not the issue,its somebody's life!! Repair it properly or you could have worse problems! OPT

I never said I was not replacing it, all I wanted was a good source for the part as I thought $50.00 is a bit steep.
