replacing petcock and vacumn shutoff
« on: November 13, 2019, 07:57:07 PM »
I am beginning restoration of my 81 CB650 and it looks like I will need a new petcock and vacuum shutoff.
Is there a quality vacuum petcock available I can use, instead of buying the two individual parts.

You can skip the vacuum part of the system if you want, just get a petcock that fits your tank and remember to turn it off when you park it.  Don't forget to plug the vacuum port on the carbs.  This has worked fine on an '82 cb650sc for about 3 seasons now.
intrigued by the wail...seduced by the scream.
