That's great. Another cheap option for OEM parts.

Mines a simple on-off petcock (OEM 1995), but if it dies I know what to replace it with. Can only imagine what a new OEM petcocks worth.
Similar story with the OEM fuel pump. The Mikuni rectangular pump is nearly a hundred bucks cheaper (here).

I hope its just the petcock.

I'll stay tuned to see how you go.

I know this is an old thread but I'm having the same issue and wonder what the problem turned out to be... did replacing the vacuum petcock with a manual shut-off solve the problem?

If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Stealing their magic geese and helping them plummet to their deaths also has its advantages.

uh, i'm not sure. See, i pulled the carbs and cleaned them, replaced the vacuum petcock with manual, replaced the fuel pump with a fresh replacement, replaced all lines, tossed out old and now-clean carbs and put on flatslides, had intake manifolds ceramic coated and reinstalled with fresh gaskets, made a carbon fiber battery box... and the problem seemed to disappear. I suggest maybe only one of those things was the issue.

Clearly my non-carbon fiber battery box is the culprit!  [laugh]
