Title: Raptor problem
Post by zipidachimp on 05/22/19 at 20:25:39

Replacing the fuel line today, the brass spigot connecting the Raptor to the carb pulled out when I pulled off the line. Tapped it back into place with some Permatex fuel-safe goo, I'll see tomorrow if it holds or leaks. No evidence of any soldering/glue on the original part.
Yes! genuine yamaha part! >:(
Was this a fluke?

I have not had this happen on a Raptor - but I have had it happen on several factory petcocks on other bikes over the years.

I did the same as you......I believe I used a small coating of permanent threadlocker and then tapped them back into place.

looks like the Permatex is holding. Same stuff I used on the Raptor gasket when I installed.
If I get a failure, I'll try the threadlocker.
Cheers! 8-)
ps; I'm using black fuel line this time. Can't see if the float valve is holding, or leaking past the valve. That's why I prefer the clear stuff.

That happened on my Mikuni carb once... I just shoved it back in.
