My "Project 2025" - 1980 Moto Guzzi V50 II

If you remove it, you can check it for pitting on the sealing face an also that all orifices are clean. You can clean the visible part if it with a brass brush on a dremel or similar to get rid of the remaining rust. If you then polish it, it will be reasonably resistant against new rust. Then again, a new one probably does not cost the world.

I’ll soak it overnight and take a closer look.
Definitely going to look into purchasing new ones 👍🏽

Yeah, even cheapskate me, changed all of them for new.

I also went down that path, then thought splash out.
