Put petcock on PRI (bypasses the vacuum actuation) and ride for a few days to check that option. If that heals it - replace petcock. If not - we go from there.

Hesitating,....as a lean fuel hesitating ? Next time its hesitating, give the choke 1 notch.....mite tell you if its rich or lean.

my bike also have been idleing bad and would die sometimes.

i found a gas leak at the end of the vacum actuation (not on the petcock end but the carb?)

questions;

1. about the fix you mentioned above, can i run on this for a while till i get a new petcock? or is it bad for the bike?

2. when i plug both ends. and put it on prime. do i have to put it back to fuel when im done riding? or leaving it to prime is fine?

thanks in advance

Wes

Any gas in the vac line you have ask where did it come from?
Since the vac port is not on the bottom of the intake, I would assume the gas came from the petcock, bad.

1. it's bad to leave it leaking into the intake.
2. Use prime while riding, and "on" while parked. This should give you gas to run the engine and the auto-off feature will prevent flooding while off.
