Diff. part # for '80 GS850G??

When I go to crotchrocket.com and I do a search for the petcock for a '80 GS850G I get a $48.50 price for the petcock. I thought it would be the same petcock and price for any GS 8-valve four??

My experience has been that the valves are all the same and they mount to the tank the same but the nipples (both gas and vacuum) point in different directions per model.

For some reason crothcrocket.com doesn't list the 83 1100 for that part number, but it says the same petcock is for the 83 750 and the 81 1100. My 81 1100 and 83 1100 have the same fuel tap. If it's a matter of the vaccum line not pointing in the right direction, you can remove that part of the petcock and rotate it in any direction and re-attach.

There are some big differences in size. The early (non CV carb models) were big because there was room behind the carbs. The later CV carb tops blocked the space, so the petcock had to be much shorter to fit in the space. One of them (the L model ?) is so short it doesn't have a handle, just a screwdriver slot.

Ok

So they are ALL diff. or do say '80-'89 GS750G's -GS1100G's have the same petcock?

just had a petcock failure , gas coming out in all three postions, flooded the carbs, who knows, so i went down to the local lawn mower shop and bought a small briggs and stratton inline fuel cut off valve for 4 $, didnt think it would work because the fuel just dribbled out of it . well the leak is gone and the fuel valve works, mind you i havent gone over 5k rmp for more than 1 minute , but it works in a pinch.
