You will need to plug the vacuum port on the carb when you switch to the Raptor. It's the port that has the hose with the coiled wire around it. The manual petcock doesn't use the vacuum port. You can get little rubber caps from any auto parts store. A 4 mm cap worked fine for me. Other guys have made their own by clamping some hose on there and then siliconing a screw (or a golf tee) in the other end.

This needs to be capped if you use the Raptor. If this is uncapped or no hose is attached I am surprised your engine runs.

You should have two lines coming off the factory petcock. Facing the petcock, the one that comes off the right is your fuel line. The one coming straight down is your vacuum line, and when sitting on the bike, attaches to the right side of your carb.

Hopefully that makes some sense... Cheesy

Just ordered a new OEM raptor from my local Yama dealer last week, came in today. It was $32.00. Will install it over the weekend. Looked at pictures of all the cheap aftermarket ones on amazon and eBay, some looked really shabby. A couple looked like they were soldered tolgether. If you examine the photos carefully of the of the OEM and aftermarket you won't question for a minute spending the extra money on the Yamaha part.

Where do you live? Is there not a Yamaha dealer nearby where you can purchase the valve?

It's chromed or polished so more expensive... here anyway.

However, it is close to $100 for a brand new original equipment Intruder petcock... and since Suzuki finally got smart and killed off that model line...
