Re: Dribbling Petcock
If you go to the German eBay and there's a guy who does spare part kits for rebuilds. Horribly expensive.
Put "suzuki t500 petcock diaphragm" in the search bar.
Some years ago I found it cheaper to buy a new tap.

Re: Dribbling Petcock
A common problem with this dilemma is that the diaphragm spring has become a little weak. All you have to do is gently pull on the spring from both ends. Extending the length of the spring roughly 1/8th to a 1/4 inch. This will add compression to the spring causing the dribble to stop.
