Cheap $16 Chinese rip off clone petcock is VERIFIED then as "an honorable ancestor" trustworthy vac petcock replacement.
.... for at least $16 worth of "honorable ancestor" trustworthiness anyway ....

I also now have one of the $16 Chinese ones in my tool box. It has (2) 1/4" dia. mounting holes on 1-5/16" centers. The white plastic filter screens are a rather loose fit though. I think a dab of epoxy on them would be a good idea to keep them from slipping off. Or check the existing screens for a better fit.
Remember, the whole idea of using these is to get away from the complications of vacuum operation. Back to the old ways. (Therefore, no vacuum port - manually turn the gas on & off along with the ignition switch)

I rechecked the size of the chinese petcock with a micrometer ,and it seemed to be 3.5 centimeters distance to the centers of the boltholes. The outer edges of the base on the stock suzuki petcock was a mm or two larger,I'm not sue if that matters, but the bolthole distance seems to be the same.They mailed it in an envelope and the brass tube doesn't look absolutely perpendicular to the base ,I don't know if it got a little bent in shipping.Does it matter if there is no prime on there?

no need for raptor petcock, all you need is some golf tees... plug the line on the carb and vacuum line on the petcock and run it on prime, i did this and have had no problems

but running it on prime leaves you without any "reserve" in your gas tank, so when you sputter out, you are out and can't just switch to reserve
I always end up switching to reserve, so that would not work for me

OF Can't have any of that racial slurring stuff, so I will replace chink-a-clone with "honorable ancestor" to satisfy your enlightened sense of ethnic propriety.

an honorable ancestor
OF,
You might want to consider that most folks of Chinese descent (at least the few I know) would consider the term "honorable ancestor" to be nothing more than a racial slur. I don't believe your intent was to be insulting so I might suggest that you find another way to describe a knock off part manufactured in China.
For what it is worth
