Purchased a new battery, then checked fuel. Bone dry. Added gas and immediately had a major leak where the distribution valve goes into the tank. Tightened round band clamp but still leaks some. Any ideas before I disassemble? Anyone have links to parts diagrams? (2003 ET2) Suggestions for parts distributors? Online? Or near Everett, Wa? Thanks!

Empty fuel tank takes 1/2 gallon to turn off low fuel warning light. Should get 25 miles once the light comes on?
