Who sells new petcocks or kits for a 1959 British Seagull (SJP engine). Thanks, George

You might be able to find something thru this Seagull site. It’s something like this site, lots of good information and helpful people.

If you want to try repairing your petcock, here’s how I did mine.

Since the original leather-like sealing material was cracked, brittle, and leaking all over the place, I made a new brass plunger and fitted a couple O rings to it. Then it got soldered to the original knob and it doesn’t leak a drop now! 😀

say, that’s a real slick solution! Thanks, George

Not sure if this specially applies to your petcock fuel valve. It worked for my British Seagull 1964 SPJ. It is a youtube video.

Yeah, that works for more or less all Seagull petcocks. I have four Seagulls at the moment, reaching from 1952 to 1977 and they all use the same petcock.
