    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Question regarding petcock

This is probably a stupid question but here goes. My petcock sporadically free flows gas (when it is not on prime) so I'm going to clean and rebuild it. I opened it up and figured out all the pieces on the side where the vacuum and fuel lines attach. On the switch side (pri, res, on), after I pop the lever off, there is a little white plastic disk. Does that little plastic disk come out or do I leave it alone? I don't want to accidentally break it through stupidity.
 
For $50 you can likely get new petcock and eliminate it as a problem and work on other fun stuff. What is the centerline spacing of the two bolts that hold petcock to tank? 44 mm?
 
Hi,

All I can offer is this (found on some guy's website):

Thank you for your indulgence,

I'd have to measure to be 100% positive but that sounds pretty close.
 
I have one from George arriving any day. He shipped the same day with tracking. $113 from my local shop, $83 from Boulevard and $49.95 from George.

I bought one from him last year- got it in 3 days and much easier than being a petcock repair specialist!
 
Just placed my order after wasting almost $30 on a rebuild kit with wrong parts.
 
I'd love to hear how these petcocks from George work out. Quality, etc. Hope they're great cuz I need one!

Don't delay, he ran out of this model last year (at least at this price)- they work fine. You'll need to pick up a pair of sealing washers to go under mounting bolts- most hardware stores will have them for less than a buck.

I just got mine and installed it. Three days shipping. I was told he gets them from Japan and I suspect they are the same ones Suzuki ships. Visually it was identical to the old one. I was curious so went over both pretty closely. If you buy from his web site it's free shipping.

Awesome, thanks for the info. His site being ebay? Or does he have a site site? :D
 
I bought from on ebay. But he has a site, Georgefix.com. He offers free shipping from his site. Probably because he doesn't have to pay ebay fees.
 
Are you sure about the website link????

Doesn't look like what we are after!
 
I'll be contacting him later today to see if he has one for mine. Next I'll have to find stock rings.
