    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.

Anyone know what years/ makes of Suzuki bikes that their petcock can work with a 700?

I've lost all trust in the current fuel delivery system.
 
Better yet, anyone know where I can find the spring inside the petcock or what would be useful from a hardware store?

Doesn't sound like you've "lost all trust in current fuel delivery system" just yet!
Consensus here is rebuilding petcocks is iffy- get a new one and rule out the petcock as a problem.
 
Had the same problem

Had the same problem

I've used the rebuild kits for the vacuum petcocks with little success, just order a new one. Most if not all springs at a hard ware store are gonna be to strong for the vacuum of the bike to over come. Also, have never been able to find a a dial petcock to replace the vacuum one, just no room there. Only other idea I have come up with is take out the guts of the vacuum petcock and put in a inline shut off valve. You just have to remember to turn off the fuel when ya shut down.
 
Already sealed off the vacuum side and plugged the vacuum port on the petcock and carb and installed a inline valve. I don't like it because its not accessable for me and doesnt flow enough fuel unless I set it to where I can reach it without pulling my seat and then side panel off.
