Fuel Valve

Now that I finally got the damn thing running again, there is fuel dripping from the weep hole on the fuel valve. I'm assuming the diaphram has a hole or crack in it, as it sat for 2 years. Just looking for any advice before I tear it apart. Is it the diaphram, or can it be something else I'm missing. TIA.

sounds like a bad diaphram in the petcock like you said. I had the same problem on mine last summer. Not a hard fix, luckily.

inderocker is an unknown quantity at this point
Diaphragm is toast. you can by pass it and have the fuel on at all times, but the needle and seats in the carbs better be in good condition or else the carbs will over flow.
