Manual Petcock or Vacuum?

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.

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.

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

I had this problem a while ago, here's a link to it petcock link
