    I have a quick question about a petcock rebuild for an '82 XJ750 Maxim.
    Got it all cleaned and polished and started putting it back together (per Big Fitz's thread).
    The only thing I can't figure out (and didn't note when disassembling) is: "Where does the steel (I believe it's called a Wave) washer go? Does it go next to the Valve Body Seal (round rubber part with 4 holes) and under the selector? Or does it go in after the selector just before you install the selector cover plate?
    As always .... you're assistance in appreciated.

    So it looks like the Wave Washer goes it AFTER the selector and before the cover plate.

    Thanks

    I covered it in the how-to; I just went back and looked. You had me worried for a sec.
