Raptor petcock replacement/loud backfire once off
09/07/13 at 13:13:49

I just recieved in my raptor petcock assembly, there is one less tube running from this petcock then the stock, what do I do with the connection it made to the carbrutor?

My savage makes a loud backfire pop only when I shut it off after a trip that's longer than about 4 miles, will replacing the petcock resolve this issue?
Thanks

I'm going to ride whether I have to push this bike or not!

Swaping the petcock will save you the headache of fuel starvation when the stock petcock fails. All you need to do is plug the tube on the carb side when you swap petcocks. Air leaks through the vacuum line can cause some strange issues with the carb.

If you were running with this port open then backfiring would be worse from a too-lean condition.
