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.

I thought most all auto parts carried a bag of assorted sizes.
Maybe I thought wrong

be creative.
I think I used a short piece of the old vacuum line with a golf tee forced and clamped in the end.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Any auto parts store should have them. 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 put a screw in the port and then covered it with a rubber boot from one of those dish rack thingys...you know the ones that cover the sharp wire end. 2 years and still there.

For future reference.....
Another way to skin that cat:
I just used a section of the old vacuum hose. 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.

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

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.
