Anybody know if I can replace the petcock vacuum hose (normally 4.5mm ID I believe) with some stock 5/32" vacuum hose at Autozone? ID is a little smaller but think it may work. Next size is 7/32"... not sure why they don't have 3/16"

It's available on Ebay. But to answer your question yes or, get some Tygon instead. It's the fuel line used on gas trimmers.Current:

Whynot just get OEM vacuum hose. For less than $20 you can get a lifetime supply!Ron
When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/core/images/smilies/cool.png

I'd say if you can get it on securely on both ends and it's a reasonably thick-walled hose it will be fine, it's only vacuum and not a lot of it. I have grabbed whatever fits, like some spare fuel line which is pretty stout and never had any issues.Last edited by oldGSfan; 09-05-2024, 09:52 AM.Tom

1 foot from Autozone is $1.99. A bit more on eBay. Just thought I could pick this up today and this was something that a little cheaper wouldn't hurt.Originally posted by 1978GS750E View PostComment

I've been thinking what Tom said. Anything that will seal at the ends should work1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment
