Preliminary update 12/8/2018
I installed the new petcock valve this afternoon. Bike fired right up and ran much better. It wasn't 100% when cold but I attribute that to there still being some residual fuel in the vacuum system (though I tried to dump out what was in the hose).
Once it was fully warmed up there were no noticeable idle fluctuations or bogging upon acceleration. I was able to set the idle speed and it maintained itself nice and steady.
The bike never left my driveway but I plan on taking it for a short ride tomorrow and that will hopefully determine everything. I'm eager to see how it runs tomorrow morning when I fire it up cold.
I'll post back tomorrow.
