Yes indeed, I was in a great mood the rest of the evening. Still gonna change out the petcock. For those interested, HD stocks an updated "new and improved"version of the original factory petcock ( looks identical). I haven't purchased it yet, but I physically checked it out at the parts counter, $90. The action is very nice and has significant stopping points...could be ball bearing Idk. Not so much the small savings vs a pingle etc, I just like this bike to look as original as possible. Thanks again for everyones help!

Seems like extreme overkill, but won't hurt anything. I think the manual says 10k, and that's probably too much. Modern cars recommend 100k. I suspect our bikes would do the same. I change mine when they don't spark.

You said this has been doing it quite a while, and got worse. now you know the symptoms.
You've got 15k on these, change them at 10-12K next time.
