Zip on down to the dealer and buy a new one with vacuum. Should last you a good 10 years, during which time you might manage to either mod one yourself following extensive directions available here, or get a modded one.
1990 GS500EL - with moderately-ugly paintjob.
1982 XJ650LJ -  off the road for slow repairs

Or mod your own... Its not hard. I think there is a how to in the WiKi... or serch it on here  :cheers:

Also, Its not always the petcock.. I thought mine was bad, and after moding one, then buying ANOTHER one it still didnt run right... ended up being one of the carb boots had torn  :icon_twisted: Be sure to trouble shoot a bit before spending too much chasing ghosts  :thumb:
