  1. Carbs & Fuel System
    So I recently replaced the petcock on my bike with an "OEM" petcock from a different company. The set up is the same, but it started leaking. The rebuild kit fits but won't allow any fuel flow. It seems the replacement parts don't fit correctly. However, if I remove the spring behind the...

    So in my quest to get this 89 vn750 on the road, I had to purchase a petcock. I bought one that was "OEM" from eBay for $50. Not sure I'd the brand but it came in a black box with a red stripe. Anyway, I immediately leaked. They replaced for free. The second one leaked 3 months then leaked...

    Need a little help. What size bolts mount the petcock? I have M6-1.0 X 12mm and they won't thread in very far at all. The diagram says 6x20? Where would I find those locally?
  4. Carbs & Fuel System
    So i was attempting to rebuild my petcock and got distracted by the wife long enough for my 2 year old to take off with the valve handle. We have looked high and low for it and its long gone. Does anyone happen to have or know of where i can get one, short of buying a whole new oem petcock?

    Hi all, first post here. I searched around for a few days and found nothing on this, so please let me know if someone has asked this question before and I will go there.

    I'm so glad I found this site. I have a problem with the new bike I have. It is a conversion to a bobber so no air filters on each carb just a breather vent k&n. I discovered allot of rust in the tank and had to acid it and rinse thoroughly. I also had to put a new petcock valve, I dont...
  9. Carbs & Fuel System
    So, I recently laid my bike down at high speed and I went from smelling gas, to a visible leak out of the petcock. Now it could be just not seated firmly because of the accident, but I don't think so. It only leaks when the engine is running and in the ON position. Any thoughts? I know, pretty...

    My petcock is leaking on my used bike. It seems like it is leaking from every place it possibly could be but I'm going to try to replace the O ring at the top to see if it fixes it anyhow. In the event that I do need to buy a new one is there one anyone recommends? The strange thing is that mine...

    Hello everyone, I have a 85 Vulcan 700 and petcock issues. It's pulling fuel through the vacuum line and also both screens on the petcock are missing. I think I can found a way to fix the screens, but I need to find a petcock rebuild kit. The problem is, the petcock is the not the original...

    Replaced my stock petcock because one hose kept popping off. So far I have no issues with it at all. I can see where there will be no difference in fuel flow as the tube in the tank is the EXACT same size as the stock. So there is your bottleneck. But I haven't yet haven't really pushed it...

    Hi everyone. Quick background... Just starting riding about 2 months ago and bought a 85 Kawasaki Vulcan 700. I absolutely love riding and it's killing me that my bike has been out of commission for 2 weeks now. I'm new to this site also! Rode bike for about 6 weeks, with little problems...
  16. Carbs & Fuel System
    Hello All! I just bought a 2nd hand '94 Vn750. Love the bike so far. But I have a problem. It starts/idles ok, once I ride it the bike begins to lose power almost if it's out of fuel!. Eventually it gets so starved that it dies. The whole process takes about 10 miles. After I let it sit for an...

    I need a petcock for a 1986 vn750, the local store wants 91.96 for theirs. Anybody got an extra they want to sell, or know of a place to get one for a reasonable amount? Thanks for any help.
  19. Carbs & Fuel System
    Hello all, I need to replace the petcock, it is leaking from everywhere and I don't think just the repair kit will fix it. :doh: so, my question is, is there any other petcock that you would recommend instead of the OEM? cheaper, better, etc!! :confused: thank you all.
