    New petcock

    I have read lots on these forums about petcocks and how a fella should get a new one. There is talk of Pingel petcocks and vacuum vs. non-vacuum. Whats the real difference with the vacuum or the lack there of? Does the bike run better or have less problems without the vacuum? Where can I get a new petcock that fits my '80 GS1100L?
    While troubleshooting, I pulled the petcock off and sucked (gently) and I could get gas flow and a running engine. I havent got a good start without my efforts. I am guessing my petcock if faulty. Any thought?

      Vacuum petcock means you will never forget to shut off the fuel, or to turn it on again.
      That is all.
