    It will take about 30 to 40 seconds for the bowls to fill and then you gotta actually have enough battery power left to start the bike..thats why the petcock is designed that way.. Suzuki and several sources sell the rebuild kits. Not terribly expensive either.

    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        Listen bub, I'm just repeating what I heard in another thread some months ago.
        Its not that it needs constant vacuum, just a blip to get it started.

          well I was having trouble getting my bike started what I did was take the hose off of the petcock and took a tiny syringe pump and started pumping into the hose. this helped me get the bike started. however not something I'd like to do every time I go to ride.

            Im really grateful that my petcock works good.

            Because I tend to read nothing but problems from most riders on here!

              Adler..BUB.. i wasnt preaching! Just a statement of fact as to how they are designed to operate. If the other guys need a BLIP to get it to flow then his was messed up too!
