Fixed leaky petcock

I have had an annoying leaking petcock brass outlet tube. They came off when I pulled the hardened fuel lines off, the brass outlet plugs came right out of the petcock. When I reinstalled, even with new tygon fuel line the one that points toward the back was leaking.

I decided that a C-clamp might be able to screw in the tube then banging on them with a hammer. I put a c-clamp on the right tube, and slowley tighten, and it worked, the tube moved probably 1-2 mm. I repeated on the forward tube, and it moved a little. I then pressed both together to get then even.

Put the petcock back on and leak was gone for now.
