SuzukiSavage.com - Vacuum line seal

feelinjunky Full Member Offline No Comment Posts: 238 NJ	Vacuum line seal 01/12/12 at 09:44:40 I changed my petcock to a raptor and I want to seal the vacuum line. I've searched forever and can't find the plug for the vacuum inlet on the carb. Home depot, lowes, this site, etc. I'm looking for a perfect fit rubber cap. Thanks.

Mine came in a blister pack. There're lots of ways to plug that line, but using a cap gives the job a nice, finished look. Your gonna love that Raptor.

I stuffed a bit of RTV into it and folded it over, using a couple of zip ties to keep it folded. Has lasted several years. IHTH someone!

Newbie Question! Why does that vaccum line have to be sealed after swapping out for the Raptor petcock? Huh

Posts: 1108 Yantis, TX	Re: Vacuum line seal Reply #12 - 07/09/12 at 07:04:01 The raptor petcock doesn't use a vacuum source, so you have to seal the vacuum port on the carb after swapping to it. Otherwise you will have a major vacuum leak. R.F.
