Just found out that you are friends with Glenn Dunn (Mountain Pond Inn - Wells VT). He and I have not seen each other since elementary school. Sounds like we need to have a fun night out with our gals too.

Great question Clarence!
I figured Richard Schwarz would get it correct. My #9 Ace 90 still has the original Mitsubishi tires.

Re: wombat 94A tank petcocks
Hi Mark yes there are red fiber washers used to seat the petcocks against the bottom of the tank. # 909017 .
Maybe try a little light grease on the threads of the petcocks when screwing into the tank.
Thanks

I promise the threads on the petcocks w...
