Bad auto petcock maybe?

And can I use this petcock switch without connecting the vacuum hose? In that case, I'm guessing I'll only be using the PRIME position for feeding fuel to the carbs and the ON/RES positions will just be OFF. Will that work or do I have to repair the petcock or replace it with a non-vacuum petcock?
Any suggestions to what to look for and how to fix the leak in the ON/RES positions will be much appreciated.

As far as a new Petcock, call Z1 and see what they have that fits. As I don't see anything on their website for the 550. Also at Pingel I don't see a 550 listing. But the guy's at Z1 will know.

I kept looking at the diagphram but when I opened the actual switch side, noticed that the valve gasket (the round rubber thingy with holes) was pretty messed up. I'm just going to get a rebuild kit from Z1 and install it. Looks like this should work:
