Posts: 7 Grand Rapids, MI	Raptor Petcock 07/05/10 at 11:32:33 I just need to make sure the Raptor petcock that everyone seems to change to will work on my 95 Savage. The part number is 5LP-24500-01-00, correct? My bike only runs on prime and I am hoping this will fix the problem. Thanks.

Did mine ages ago and have never regretted it. I took one of these

and attached one end of a lanyard to the petcock, the other end to one side of the keychain. The other side of the keychain holds my MC keys. When I shut down the engine, I remove the keys and let them fall. They hang straight down from the petcock to remind me to turn the valve off before I take my keys and dismount.

If leaving the valve on caused any kind of a starting or flooding problem, you have a leaking carb, and you had better get it fixed,.....now !

Just put a 'raptor' on my '01 about 1/2 an hour ago. Since I was pretty low on fuel, I just leaned it over on the right side with an old tire under it. Took about 2 minutes to remove the old vacuum one & bolt up the new one. Hooked up the fuel line & plugged the vacuum hose with a bolt for now. About 5 minutes for everything.

Works great, now I don't have to run on prime to keep from leaning out under load. Cool

so then what kind of problems would be caused by leaving the switch on? i was under the impression that it would flood the engine if left on for extended periods? why else would someone need to attach a lanyard to it?
