Manual Petcock or Vacuum? was created by peachc
Well, after rebuilding my petcock with all new hardware, it seems it still wants to leak when on the "On" position. My current setup is for a Vacuum based Petcock, so my question is can I get a new one which is just manual one or would you suggest just getting another vacuum based one? :blink:

manual= less parts to break or fail but you have to remember to turn it off.

I'd have to say vaccuum. The manuals cause a lot more grief in my experience anyway.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Any clue on a realistic price for a new one? I only found one on Bikebandit for 79$:blink:

Keep an eye out on eBay.

In the last week alone, I've seen probably about half a dozen different NOS Kawi petcocks listed there.

Covina, So Calif!
78 KZ650-B2 = SOLD
84 ZN700 LTD = SOLD
84 ZX750 GPz = SOLD
89 GSX1100F Katana = SLEEPING :-/
20 VN1700 Vulcan Vaquero (the Blue Cowboy)
Looking for my next project KZ

partsnmore.com has some manual petcocks in the yamaha section for $29 that are really nice. Just a thought.
