These aren't vacuum petcocks,are they? If it's the one OF linked to, no it's the Chinese knock off of the Yamaha Raptor petcock, so it's the manual one that you need. R.F.

Thanks,it was the one OF linked to.

OF Hey, do us a favor and if you would, please report on installation and use of that Chinese clone of the Raptor when it gets to you and you put it on the bike.

It is easy to spot them on Ebay, but until one is actually installed on a Savage the question of "complete suitability" still remains.

No, hold the new part up next to the old part, the bolt hole distance will be readily apparent to be "same-same" or different.

Not that we have ever heard of one of these petcocks being bolt hole different, mind you -- but if you are getting one shipped in it would be nice to get a verification check.

I tend to trust Chinese suppliers after verification, something Ronnie Regan used to say about the Russians while they were doing disarmament of their nukes and chemical weapons.

And for Ebay purchases, we keep verifying for each new vendor and any time the picture changes (example - these have copper pipes like the real thing, which makes me trust a little more than for the all plastic versions).

Yup, 'ol Ronnie knew how to handle them Russians -- he never got anywhere with them Chinkie Chinesers to speak of, Bush got whatever we got out of them.

OF , I got the chinese petckock today . It looks like the same bolt distance ,I measured it, and they seem to be around 1 3/8" apart to the center of the bolt hole, plus the base has the same shape.The difference is there is only 1 port on the new one and the old one has 2 (I don't mean in the tank ,on the outside). Also ,there is no prime position, only reserve ,on and off . It seems like the mechanism is sturdy and turns smoothly, Hey, I'll give it a shot. But I'm not installing it unless I need to . Thanks.
