Title: 1999 Savage/Ryca fuel petcock position Post by kecuki on 06/27/16 at 18:46:35 Hi guys, I bought recently Ryca CS1 bike (1999 Savage), and after riding it for couple of times, I noticed the petcock is set to "PRI" position (pointing to the rear of the bike). However, to my knowledge (and according to the manual), it should never be kept in this position, and should be used only to "refill" the carburator. So I set it to "ON" (pointing to the ground), but the bike would not run properly and would stall soon after starting up. It just felt like the engine can't breathe. I noticed many people on this forum replaced the stock petcock, so I wonder if this is sign of faulty petcock or something else is wrong? I returned it to the "PRI" position and bike seems to be running well. Thanks for your responses and have a nice day! |

It bolts up easily having the same base and bolt pattern,and you then plug the vacuum line at the carb. |
