Raptor Petcock Issue
03/13/13 at 09:07:19
 
Greetings Gents!

I ordered a raptor petcock from ebay, drained the tank, took the old petcock off, and as I was putting in the new one, realized that the small connector nozzle that connects to the gas line is too small to fit the gas hose.

Is this common, is there an adaptor, does that nozzle screw off and is it replaceable with a larger nozzle?

Or is this just the wrong petcock? Otherwise the screws into the tank and the seal are all spot on...

This is what I received:

Thanks for any wisdom!

Id get a new piece O gas line thatll shove on the carb AND on the new petcock & call it good.

But, when you say the petcock nozzle is too small,, how Much too small? Would a hose clamp get it? Its kinda hard to get a really good, ROUND crimp on stuff that small.

It is so small that it fits inside the old hose without touching any of the sides.

I was worried about getting some new hose that fits the petcock, but then would be too small to fit onto the carb.

I don't think a hose clamp would be able to squeeze it enough to make a nice tight fit. But I guess that's worth a shot if there's no better solution.

Thanks!

Naaah, Im with you,, If its so loose it doesnt even touch, a clamp is gonna bunch it up, like a belt on pants that are Just too big,,I cant imagine such a tiny fuel outlet on the petcock,, sounds DUMB,, but,, if thats what it is, thats what it is. Id go to the parts store & take the gas line with you, & an accurate measurement of the petcock nozzle or the petcock itself. Someone can help you get something put together.

It says it's the right one,.. but, it may be a from a Raptor 350, or 250...
They are  a smaller outlet,.. and the one I have is on a shorter stem that required filing a small divot in the tank seam to clear...
I did  make it work,... but, swapped to a correct size later...

Had a look at your EBAY thing and note that your petcook is from an ATV, it was also a $13 one, I saw a $29 one which was also for a Raptor 660 and the outlet looked larger.

the description looks the same to me.
the second picture matches the part number.
found the part number in this guide: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1251932429/1

2 (ALSO WRONG!!): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fuel-Gas-Petcock-Valve-Switch-Pump-2005-2004-2003-200...

Part number: 5LP-24500-01-00

Thanks guys!

I ordered the correct one, and am sending the other back.

Glad to know this rather than trying to rig up some kind of custom hose.

Thanks again!

They even make a similar looking petcock for a 50 and 80cc bikes with the small tube.  (Don't ask me how I know).

Maybe they copied the wrong petcock and only thought it was for a 660.

The correct rRaptor petcock is for 660 Raptor. The ones for a smaller engine size may not flow enough fue for your 650 Savagel. The pic shows the OEM petcock next to the 660 Raptor petcock so you can see the difference in the fuel outlet size. The Raptor 660 petcock requires a 1/4" fuel line....the OEM petcock uses the OEM 5/16" fuel hose. The fit on the Raptor petcock is a little loose so use a 1/2" worm clamp as shown in the pic. I sell these petcocks and include a worm clamp AND a vacuum cap to plug the vacuum port on the OEM carb with each petcock. I sell these on my website www.windsorcycles.com.

Super Thumper:

What you have is not a factory Yamaha Raptor Petcock.  The Yamaha petcock does have a 5/16" nipple and it fits the original fuel line with the original spring clamp.  It also has a brass extension tube.

You must have gotten one of the chinese knock offs.......

The factory petcock is part number 5LP-24500-01.  The nipple measures 0.316" on the tube and 0.359" at the flared portion.  A 5/16" fuel line fits very snug on the nipple.

Here is a thread I did on the factory Raptor petcock.

And here are photos of of the Yamaha Raptor petcock.

I just installed the raptor 2 weeks ago. had the same problem. I just used a worm gear connector and tightened it as much as I could until I got a good seal.

I just got these from a supplier a few days ago so I will check this out tomorrow when I get to my shop. I do have a genuine Suzuki Raptor 660 petcock to compare and will report the results this weekend along with pics. If it rurns pouyt the fuel outlets are indeed smaller on my aftermarket Raptor 660 petcocks they are going back! Thanks for the info.
