The Raptor Petcock
01/28/16 at 14:22:13

Hello people, I'm the guy that built the Savage from a box of bits (with much appreciated help here). When I was finished I discovered that the only problem was the high beam indicator bulb was blown. Having had such a hard time getting the tank on I decided to live with it. However I subsequently discovered that here in Virginia a blown tell tale is a safety inspection failure. So I thought that while the tank was off I would also fit the Raptor petcock. The fitting was a piece of cake except that when I went to connect the fuel line I found that the output pipe from the Raptor petcock is way smaller that the Suzuki one and of course not a fit for the fuel line. Here is what I bought

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-2004-2003-2002-2001-Yamaha-Raptor-660-Fuel-Gas-P...

So the question is, what should I have bought.

Thanks
DavidP

Thanks DavidP

Type in the correct part number (5LP-24500-01), and if you don't see the white box from Yamaha....go find another seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-2001-2005-OEM-YAMAHA-RAPTOR-660-FUEL-PETCOCK-5LP-...

Everybody wants to save a dime. The long term win is living where the economy is healthy. Buy local.

And, you keep a brick and mortar store alive, increase the velocity of money in your community.
Has no one heard about the Wal-Mart closings? Not that online shopping is why, but, they went in andcin less than a year, undercut the old, established, mom and pop places out of business. What happens to the people who owned and worked at those places? Did some go to work for Wal-Mart? Move?
I liked Wal-Mart while Sam was alive. They sold Made in USA stuff. The state of the economy demands that I shop there sometimes. Id rather not. And I exhaust all options before I buy online. I refilled the propane tanks yesterday. The local guy didn't just meet, he Beat the much larger, not local, company's price. I got propane for $1.40 /gallon! Maybe some of you don't know, but propane tanks aren't supposed to be filled beyond 80%, but the guy got talking and one got filled UP, the gauge stops at 95, needle is past that. As long as the sun doesn't beat down on it and overheat it, the pop off should hold. By spring, it'll be fine. I'm not supposed to have over 200 gallons in that tank, but I Think it's sitting at 240 or more. Might be 250,, but I know one thing,, I heard the pump load up and saw the hose buck , and looked at the gauge... heart stoppage moment.

The dude was distracted. Im gonna start a thread..
