Consumer Description

The fuel system petcock of my 2007 Honda VTX1300 motorcycle leaks fuel when positioned "on", as well as " on reserverve". This poses a safety issue in the event that an ignition source is near. My motorcycle has been backfiring, not maintaining idle, and spits and sputters when taking off. The spitting and sputtering has been happening since I bought the bike in 2008. I attributed it to cold starts. Until recently, when I noticed the leaking fuel from the petcock. There are no warning lights to alert me this issue.
