Triumph - Fuel Tap Assembly - T2400940

On a new to me barn find '05 Triumph America, I noticed a raw fuel smell after removing, rebuilding, and refitting the carbs. No leaks were found at the carbs or overflow hose. My hand brushed the petcock while poking around, and that was the source of the leak. Enough to smell but not enough to drip. I drained and removed the tank and found that the petcock to tank seal was compromised. I ordered all these parts before removal. probably didn't need the petcock (fuel tap assembly) but replaced it anyway. I was pleased to find that it is made by Mikuni! Back up and riding within 30 minutes. Easy repair once I found the source of the leak.
