I bought a petcock for my GS1100E from Partzilla in 2020 - OEM PN 44300-49572, cost about $110, from memory. It worked for a while but stopped delivering fuel on prime without vacuum. I really need that feature as I sometimes won't ride for a couple months and run the float bowl dry. I rigged a T fitting onto the vacuum hose so I could use a MityVac to get some fuel in the bowl but that irked me given I'd paid top $. I have acquired a good original spare that seems to be OK, bench testing only so far, so I decided to open the Partzilla one up.
See the pic - I think the bottom right metal parts should be one piece based on a break area I can see. It slots into the white plastic part.
I can't understand what would cause that to break, it's a simple device that has three positions, no need to ham fist it or anything.
I'm past the return timeframe, which seems always the case, so now I am mostly curious. Well if anyone had such a metal piece from an old one I wouldn't mind repairing this one. Seems a shame. Any insight appreciated.
