    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.

Part question / petcock fitment

Don't even waste your time guessing. I just received a brand spanking new one in the original NOS Suzuki box from Flat Out for about 40 bucks. Don't make the same mistake I did and order the o-ring gasket. It already comes with one.
 
I bought that same one. I've been running it for about two years and it works great. It's a K&L brand. Georgefix is a really great seller also.
It also came with the o-ring.You have an 80 slot (no lever) petcock on your 81?
 
I have a new o-ring, however the fuel cock I have now isn't flowing fuel on prime, and that is after a rebuild kit. I'm not sure which I need?
 
If yours is anything like my stocker there is a flat rod with about 1/2 loop of spring built into its base. That rod pushes on the diaphram when the petcock is on prime allowing fuel to flow. You probably need to lengthen that piece to get fuel to flow on prime.

Ah, okay. So any tips on doing that?
 
Do you have a lever that you twist to go from reserve, run and prime? Or do you have a small slot for a screwdriver to go from run to prime? If you have the slot you still need vacuum to activate prime, but you don't need constant vacuum like run.

You have to disassemble the petcock to get to the piece. It's just outboard of the diaphram. Simply pull straight out on it and the spring portion of the part will allow it to become longer.
