On my Savage, which was purchased with a bad petcock, I installed a small stainless steel ball valve inline, run the stock petcock on prime, plugged the vacuum ports and it runs fine. I fill up everytime the odometer rolls over at hundred miles so not having reserve is not a problem. This works well for me as I only ride this bike around town.
Reminds me of that,...
"You know you're a redneck if..." "your working TV is sitting on top of your non-working TV"...
No offense intended... it works...
Just thought it was funny...
PS... and I currently have my working guitar amp, sitting on top of my non working guitar amp...
P'ownd myself!...
...
I had a friend who just never quite managed to do allright. He had a 4 year degree from UT Austin. He was an accountant. He had 2 TVs when he died, One, had audio, the other had a picture. One sat on the other, with a newspaper covering the screen.

I have noticed that people with college degrees are clever like that,I guess it wasn't a waste of time.

Here's a test for those of you that have access to both petcocks...
Use the same trick we use to check the float level.
Attach a clear line to the bottom of the bowl...
Run the line up at least as high as the vent tubes...
Run it along side the carb so you can see if the level of gas is at the gasket for the bowl.
Of course the trick is to check the level while going flat out.
'bot, this would be a good application of that key fob camera.
as soon as I can get some line I'll give it a try.
============================
Verslagen is in personal possession of a Raptor petcock now and is ready to do some comparative analysis --- Routy, do you have one yet so you can do the same thing?
Unless you have both or have used both, how can you ever form a real opinion?

"as soon as I get some line (fuel line?) I'll give it a try."
Inference is that you have both on hand now ....

Ahhh... and the call out to 'bot to test his didn't infer something else?
Still stock, and working w/o any trouble with the new engine.
