      Yeah, the stock unit is an odd petcock (leverless) but I have seen them on ebay new. Are you sure about 50mm bolt centerline ? sounds too big - I think my unit is 44 mm.

          I am, I just measured it this morning. I'm not against getting the leverless petcock but i have no idea was position is prime, run and reserve. Anyone know with those stupid things...

              You can see my post on your other thread so I don't have to post it twice.

                  Why not order a new petcock from Suzuki though your favorite dealership source?

                      Mainly because it's 50 dollars more and I'm strapped for cash....

                          I have received several new petcocks from this place: www.tasclassicmotorsports.com
                          They are typically around $50 including shipping.
                          It takes 2-3 weeks for the part to come from Japan.

                          Phone number in Indiana is 260-563-6937

                          Give them a call and see if they can help you out.
