Ain't it a pretty thing?.... ...

Arrg !!  there Matey


We be expecting you to tell us the tale of the PROTRACTED execution of that gas theivin' stall causin' pure tee aggravating vac rascal now that you got him out of yer bilges and into yer brig all proper like.

Are you to be givin' him a trial?        <hee hee hee>

A trial would be nice, it would allow the last three vac petcock lovers to come forth to try to defend the sorry rascal or to make their puny offers to "rehabilitate" him (quietly add him to their stock of replacement sorry rascals as the case may be).

A trial would be fun, followed by the stacking up of the willowy faggots up around the well charred steak prior to the slow flame barbeque ....


   


(ye gots to watch out fer them willowy faggots, they gets all excited when an execution is in the offering)


===================


Seriously now, you need to keep your big paper element filter in place, it stops a whole host of other problems that you never need to worry about with it in place.

Did your husband have to clear the float bowl or did everything work jest fine when the raptor went into place?

Perk up vac boys -- what I am really asking is "Was the vac petcock the sole major cause of all this bullshit that you had to go through?"


(gots me a flaming willow branch to rotate/insert slowly into your orifice once the trial gets started, I do ....)


weeeeeee !!!

Do be sure to block off the vacuum tap on the carb... ...or you'll have a big intake leak...

Why?Its plugged off,, you won,,

I just got back from an apprx 40 mile ride up and down all kinds of hills with all kinds of different traffic. She ran beautifully!!!! No issues at all so far. I have a question though. When I fill up with gas, do I have to shut the petcock off first? I filled up today and I didn't but I didn't know if I should have.

If the float/valve setup jams up then the gas will run on in & mess things up,,

Now, now Serowbot, let's all be nice.        


The vac petcock is a safety feature in the exact same way a colostomy bag is a safety feature.

Both are a sack of shite and tend to either leak on you or tend to back up on you, generally giving you the a real case of the shits before it is done with aggravating you .....

..... and just like the bag, it just goes on and on and on and on



===========================


Still, since we have been actively warring the petcock we have had THREE (3) (oops, now it is FOUR) stock vac petcocks participate in dumping gas into a sump and ZERO (0) manual petcocks have dumped any reported amounts of gas into a sump.

When we have a gas in sump we need to ask the poster questions like what sort of petcock he is using and what did he do to stop the issue from happening again.  

I don't hear people having to fix any float valves so far ....
