There is this valve that controls the gas supply on my motorcycle. It
doesn't seem to work very well for me. When I turn it to the "off"
position, the bike often continues to run, even after I try to shut if off.
I think the valve is defective. When I fiddle with it a bit, it seems to
work OK, but it can be fickle.
Anyhow, I was told that it was a pet cock valve. Do any of you have a pet
cock you need to fiddle with from time to time? What's the solution to my
dilemma. Thanks for your time.

Yes, I do. His name's Buster and he can kick your rooster's ass.

It drags itself out of the dark abyss of pish, and crawls insanely up
the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and
doodle. It is balder and dash."

Mark,
It's one word, petcock. You should not need to fiddle with it. Rebuild or
replace it.
