I have a 1986 Kawasaki Vulcan 700. I was recently digging through the petcock (because I'm an idiot and was trying to fix something that wasn't broken) and lost the spring. I replaced the spring with one from an old petcock of an 81 Suzuki gs450. now I've put the petcock back together and when I put a vacuum on the petcock (by sucking on the hose fuel won't flow. if I turn on the prime setting it will. I was originally just gonna buy a new petcock, but they're around 100$ for the one I need, and I don't really wanna spend that money yet because I've only had this bike for about a month, and idk if I wanna put that much money in it.. Will it cause any problems if I just run the bike on prime all the time? also does anyone know anywhere that might have the petcock i need for cheap? I was thinking about buying a rebuild kit, but the diaphragm isn't torn so I'm not sure that's the problem, and it holds a vacuum just fine.
This is the Petcock I need. when i look for cheaper Chinese built ones they aren't even remotely what i need as they only have 1 fuel outlet
