    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My 78 1000C has stood for several months so today I gassed it up ......

damn petcock leaking fuel
damn float valves passing fuel

all done before I joined this site and saw the mixed reviews on these products

not impressed at all ........ 78 has that damn freaky overpriced petcock as well

oh well ..... partzilla and cycle o'rings here I come

happy Christmas :mad:
 
Stock 77 or 78 750 petcock. Same body but the nipples face to the left instead of to the back. Bolts right up. May need longer fuel and vac line but thats all. Best thing is its about 1/3 the price of the 1000 Pcocks.
 
After 1 petcock and a K&L kit that leaked also. I went with the pingle valve with ON OFF and RESERVE Flows more and no more problems. Since I work for a Suzuki dealer I installed OEM needle and seats. May cost more but can't beat them for reliability.
