The Swedish newbie that posted that set of pictures and links meant well, but the brutal truth is the Ebay sellers don't know enough to claim "compatibility" or not, and they certainly don't list details like outlet size.

Try to send it back to him if he claimed it was a Raptor 660 petcock, explaining if it doesn't have the larger outlet then it ISN'T a Raptor 660 petcock, but is something else.

Ebay has a dispute methodology you may threaten him with -- generally this dispute process thing means the absolute death of the Ebay vendor so generally they will give you your money back before attempting that process.

This looks like the ones i bought from a wholesale supplier....when i got them I took one to the Yamaha dealer to compare to a "GENUINE" Yamaha Raptor 660 petcock. The fuel outlet is smaller on these knock-off petcocks, the same size as a Raptor 80 fuel outlet. I had to send 20 of these back to the manufacturer and they are STILL arguing about a refund. Sorry you got burned as well...the best way to handle this is to file a complaint with ebay about this seller. I looked into the seller...they are from China...lots of luck.

&, after reading even MOre of the delightful events some have encountered, Im gonna say I did Good!
My recommendation? YOure out some $$$ & some time, Id say youre odds on for getting nothing back unless you go to your credit card company & dispute the charges that way. Hoping for a refund from someone who knows that what they sold wasnt the same as what they said it was? Probably a bit like trying to get a refund from the guy who sold ya the bridge.

Best bet on satisfaction? Dispute the charges. Contact the credit card folks. They can UNpay those people,,,at least Ive had some help in that area, but the people who got UNpaid were in the usa.

I also have the 350 fuel tap and that has four holes and not the three, as i was going to swap them over !!

Oh No !!!!

K&L Supply Fuel Petcock Rebuild Kit 18-2727 for $3.98

Do watch out for them $10 shipping charge sorta guys -- they makes it a toss up for buying a whole new petcock complete. And then there are the sleezy ones to watch out for that say the picture may not be representative of the actual item sold, and then you punch in the kit number listed and find out it is for a car .....

Ebone is such a crap shoot now days.

Since nobody puts any sizes on these things you could put your $3.00 down on this one with free shipping and take you a cup of Starbucks coffee level risk that it might work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bikers-Choice-Replacement-Petcock-Valve-Gaskets-3-Hol...

I avoided all this by taking the advice of the veterans on this site and bought a genuine Yama part through Amazon. $27 and change and installed at the 900-950 mile mark for that oh-so-sweet long-tern satisfaction that you can only get from putting the right part in the right place very early on. I will never have to worry about this for the life of the bike. Versy camchain adjuster is in two weeks.
