I still feel a bit uncomfortable having a petcock that does not have the off function as this is what I used to. We will see how it goes. I will probably rebuild it sooner than later as the bike is 12 years old and I have no faith in the rubber holding well after such a long time.
Weird because if I turn the carbs upside down and push up the floats the needle seal and I cant blow air thru the intake. Hopefully the vacuum petcock will help thia
