    Vac Petcock fitting fell off my carbs.

    Like the title says, the elbow that the Vac line for the Petcock feeds from, fell off of the carbs today.

    Do I glue it into it's hole with Epoxy?? I stuck it back in so I could ride home, but I want to make sure it doesn't fall off again in the future.

    epoxy will secure it fine. just make sure you dont get any in the internal parts and block the hole up

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      I was gonna suggest epoxy or to gently squeeze it just slightly out of round and tap it back in.

      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.

          My 450 did that. I jammed it back in hard and was careful after that. No more problems.
