... you use Dyna beads or PJ1 Balance plus instead of balancing your wheels with lead (ooops)
... you get a degree from the National Western University of Applied Diplomas in the mail
... you pull out your Droid or Iphone to calculate a 10% tip
... you use a riding mower for a 50' by 50' yard
... you use a compound bow instead of a longbow (ooops)
... you pay someone to sharpen your mower blade

what's a raptor? Never heard of that before. JK

I didn't see where anyone bothered to answer you,...so I can try.
A Raptor is a yammie replacement petcock for the Savage,....used by "woosies",... who blame every little problem that ever comes up, on to the OEM vacuum operated petcock, that lets fuel flow only when the engine is producing vacuum. (a very good convenience and saftey factor IMO)
I'm not really sure of the point of this thread, except OP mite be insinuating that the raptor (on/off/res) must not be used by anyone that is lazy, or has a not so good memory,.....because they mite forget to turn it off after each ride,........as if their all riding around w/ their carbs floats 1/2 full of gas, or they are not capable of fixing a simple leaking float valve,...or....who really knows ??

Many appliances have an automated shut-off,... but the main is always manual... it's the fail-safe... for when the others fail... ...

Woosies??

Every little problem? Grin

A pretty ballsy statement don't you think, seeing how you just tried to steer someone from replacing the vacuum petcock, when it was in fact the problem.

I just don't get it !!

In her very first post, she said that switching to prime DID NOT fix the problem.
To me that leaves the fact that the problem is some where other than the vacuum operated petcock, or the vacuum line going to it.

If the fuel filter is staying full when it dies, the problem is downstream from there,....pointing straight at a "problem in the carburator"

Now you guys talked her into a Raptor, and the hastle of installing it, only to have it still do the same thing,.....I am already feeling for the prolonged frustration she will be having :'(

But then,.....maybe its me that is loosing it Roll Eyes

Only to be found dead wrong:
Quote:

Just wanted to update and say that I haven't had an issue at all since installing the Raptor!

I forget to turn it off almost everyday at work (I have remembered the past couple of days though) and she still starts and runs perfectly. In fact, my husband wants to get and install one on his bike now.

Kinda blows a hole in your "intermittent blockage by floating piece of debris" theory, huh? Which is not to say that's impossible, just that it's not nearly as common as PETCOCK FAILURE,

... in yo face! Cheesy
