Petcock is leaking out the atmosphere valve
my petcock on my 98 superhawk is leaking out the atmosphere valve and I’ve taken the petcock apart and made sure the diaphragm wasn’t ripped but now I’m just completely stumped

You probably know this but, I found it much simpler with either the petcock removed or at least the tank off and upside down. This makes centering the diaphragm and compressing the spring much easier.
It only takes a micro pin hole for fuel to leak through. Usually anything bigger (rip, etc.)will cause noticeable fueling problems.
