Troubleshooting

Fuel leak from the petcock base

Ensure the petcock is tightened correctly. If the leak persists, the sealing surface may be damaged, and the petcock may need replacement.

Fuel does not flow when petcock is ON

Verify the fuel tank has sufficient fuel. Check that the petcock lever is fully in the 'ON' position and not obstructed. Ensure the fuel line is not kinked or blocked. The internal valve may be faulty.

Fuel leaks from the petcock lever area

The seals within the petcock may be worn or damaged. Try gently wiggling the lever to see if it reseats. If leakage continues, the petcock likely needs replacement.

Difficult to turn petcock lever

Inspect for debris or sediment around the lever mechanism. Do not force the lever. The internal components might be binding and require cleaning or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification:

  1. Identify Your Model: Confirm your motorcycle is a Suzuki INDY GT550, SEBRING GT380, or LEMANS GT750.
  2. Check Year Range: Ensure your model falls within the 1972-1977 production years.
  3. Compare Part Numbers: Match your existing petcock's OEM part number with the compatible numbers provided: 44300-33600, 44300-33153, 44300-33601, 44300-31050, 44300-31051.
  4. Visual Inspection: Compare the provided product images with your current petcock to ensure physical dimensions and mounting points align.

Installation:

  • Safety First: Ensure the motorcycle is on a stable, level surface and the engine is cool. Disconnect the battery if possible.
  • Drain Fuel: Carefully drain the fuel tank into an approved container.
  • Remove Old Petcock: Locate the petcock on the fuel tank, disconnect the fuel line, and unscrew the petcock.
  • Install New Petcock: Screw in the new MOTO1988 petcock, ensuring a snug fit. Reconnect the fuel line securely.
  • Test for Leaks: After reassembly, turn the petcock to the 'ON' position and carefully check for any fuel leaks before starting the engine.

Care:

  • Periodically check the fuel line connected to the petcock for cracks or wear.
  • Ensure the petcock lever operates smoothly and can be securely moved to the 'OFF' position.
  • Avoid overtightening the petcock during installation, as this can damage the threads or the tank.
  • If the petcock becomes difficult to turn, do not force it; investigate potential obstructions or damage.
