Absolutely..
It was mentioned earlier, you don't have an air filter..
And it's running lean anyway,
Get your intake setup , then jet.
It's possible that will solve it.
Could be a sticky slide.

Why not just run the stock petcock in the prime position? Isn't that open just like a raptor? (Without reserve as JOG pointed out in the next post.)

Re: Peacock or Jets and spacer mod Reply #20 - 08/23/16 at 06:23:34 If the diaphragm is split then it'll suck fuel in, so, gotta plug the vacuum. On prime there is no reserve. It coughs, you're a pedestrian.

I'm thinking more along the lines of trouble shooting. "Replace the petcock first" is recommended quite often. Why not just run on Prime first? If it runs better, you know know the petcock is the problem.

Wait, suck fuel in where? Are you saying into the vacuum line on the carb?

If there is a hole in the petcock diaphragm, the fuel can be pulled through the hole and it will flow down the vacuum line. When the bike is running it can make the bike run horrible....when the bike is not running it can flood the crankcase and/or air filter box with gasoline.

Here is the test method for the vacuum petcock.
