You can replace the hose ....

then, when that quits ....

.... you can get the $20 rebuild kit ....

or

you can just get the $20 Raptor, which does not need the hose or the rebuild kit .... and won't fail ever never again.

Now, watch the following clip and see if you can identify the various parties that are shown.

Wink

me, I'd be the angry one with the gun ......

--- so where can I get this Raptor Petcock and how does it work differently from my regular petcock? Will I have to do some modifications when I remove the old and install the new one?

The Suzuki stock vac actuated petcock was the contraption that Steve Martin put on his face at the end of the clip -- it failed repeatedly on him and wound up killing him. He couldn't keep a consistent vacuum (his little balloons deflated on him) then his metering diaphragm finally split on him and he flooded to death.
