Air Leak

05 Jun 2008 16:46

Would an air leak cause a vacumn petcock to malfunction?

I know it would not be any fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?

A disconnected vacuum petcock or one with a damaged hose would be a vacuum leak.

Oh yeah... when the petcock hose is compromised or not connected, the idle will be affected. Like in HIGH idle.
