The fuel is not propelled by vacuum,... it is merely allowed to gravity flow when unblocked by a vacuum actuated stopper......

(I point his out, because many noobies will think that the vacuum somehow propels the fuel)...

hmmmm... now there's an idea. a couple of reed valves and we could convert it to a vacuum operated fuel pump. naw, would require a pressure regulator, more sh!t to fail or wonder if it's working.

No, I'm like this naturally ...

I'm in a good mood because tomorrow I leave for the mountains for a whole week of screwing around with MMRanch, Bigzuk and Midnight up where the air is thin and there are no speed limits.

Repeat the mind enhancing mantra after me ....

"Simple don't fail
Simple don't fail
Simple simply ain't got the parts for it
Simple don't fail"

etc etc etc until inner peace and understanding fills your mind and spirit

(or your brain drops out yer nose, whichever comes first ...)

oh, beware the counter mantra of death ....

complex things screw up ....
complex things screw up ....
when complex screws up you get screwed up ....
complex things screw up ....

this applies to petcorks too, btw

(interesting that the one burning bike example that people want to point to was a burned up Honda CX500 which has a vac petcork on it stock)

(also interesting that the only Savages so far that ever have had loose gas in the airbox and sump were ones equipped with a vac petcock on them -- I'm jest glad there was no spark nearby to ignite the fumes)

complex things screw up ....
complex things screw up ....
when complex screws up you get screwed up ....
complex things screw up ....

take a deep cleansing breath, let the evil badness flow out of you

ommmmmmm ommmmmmmm

simple don't fail
simple don't fail
simple don't fail
simple don't fail

simple don't fail
simple don't fail
simple don't fail
simple don't fail

Yes, I read your post above.
Doesn't change the fact that if we are talking fuel starvinization,

if the engine is getting enough fuel for hi speed and WOT running, it is for sure getting way more than enough fuel for slow speed running,.....not hard to figure that one out, huh ?
So then are we talking about a flooding problem ?? caused by the petcock ??? Ruptured diaphram ?? on a '09 bike ???

Yes, we are talking about starvation.
But yeah, I skipped over the 2009 part. I just related to his plight with my 2001 at 6,500miles because it was too similar. I was just relating with my own anecdotal experience. I don't have 1/50th the experience of you guys though.

It hasn't had any problems since I installed my new petcock.

I've driven the bike on four trips since totally about 80 miles and is been fine. I've bookmarked the petcock test in case I get any more surprises. Thanks for the help and advice, Hal
