YES! I rode yesterday... And all went well.
I think I'm gonna piddle with the idle air, because it was adjusted in Galveston, and I don't know if that elevation change is enough to matter.. I'm gonna mess with it anyway..

I marked the timing plug tool and hung it on the wall. I Never want to fight that fight again. The mower blade was the answer.

I didn't study it well..and wound up roadside, thinking I was outta gas, I just wasn't on reserve. I did drain the tank for the work, so, how much went back, IDK,, MY question IS, the height of the pick up tubes.. Did I Lose reserve capacity by putting the Raptor in?

Reply #20 - 11/28/16 at 07:06:02 Justin, I remember that I lost a little reserve capacity when I installed the Raptor. At 44 MPG I go on reserve right before 100 miles. Kenny G

Yes.

The reserve provided by the Factory Petcock is larger than the reserve provided by the Raptor. The difference is caused by the height of the tube that provides flow to the ON position. This could be corrected by removing the filter and extending the height of the tube on the Raptor - which may be a subject of a future tech article. I turned each petcock to ON and let the fuel run out - then switched the petcock to RES and let the fuel run out and measured what was in the bottle. The stock petcock provides 78 oz of fuel, while the Raptor provides 60 oz of fuel on RESERVE - this is whitout shaking the bike to get any remaining fuel out of the right side of the tank and you may get more when actually riding. If you got 55 MPG on your bike the stock petcock provides 33.5 miles of reserve and the Raptor provides 25.7 miles of reserve.

Dave, I just don't know what to say..
Thank You, and WOW,
Not a yes or no answer, but a scientific, absolute, yes, and how much..

Ohh, and in the FWIW column.
I gutted the old petcock.

I THINK the spring behind the
On/Reserve/Prime lever would cut down and make two springs for the Verslavy .
I saw some nasty black goo built up around the vacuum hole and on the reinforcement disk for the diaphragm. The tapered o ring that seals off the fuel when there is no vacuum looks to be deteriorating, explaining why fuel drips by. The diaphragm membrane looks intact, but seems like the seal around the metal piece in the center is just barely leaking.
Grand idea, I LIKE a vacuum petcock, but, these fail.
