Oh, I've seen petcocks fail before but that is crazy rare. They work off a simple vacuum, on or off. You can pull a vacuum on the suction line (I use a shop vac) and see if the fuel flows and stops....

My wife had a Honda Silverwing scooter with a Motor Trike conversion. Man that thing was fun but it took up a lot of real estate in the garage. She sold it when she retired. Trikes are fun though!
