I love the stock petcock for obvious reasons. I rebuilt mine years ago and it leaked - maybe bad kit - who knows they're pretty simple. But went with Pingel and done. Just have to remember to shut it off when done......

The kits are expensive. It sucks but it's the way it is. I have bought a lot of them.

Why do you want to rebuild it?
If it's leaking at the lever it is probably just the four hole gasket that needs to be replaced.... a lot less expensive than a full rebuild kit.
