Great video! I just rebuilt my petcock on the GS650GL and I didn’t get fuel to flow on prime ether? Was wondering if you could tell me why? I took it for a ride and it seems to be running fine.

@@versacejudo-chop1881 I think I am having the same issue, the little metal piece under the white valve got bent all out of wack on me. Do you have any pictures how its supposed to look? Im talking about a ring looking metal piece that sits behind the white valve with the 2 holes. Thanks for any help

@@kylebissell9612 before disassembling the petcock completely, remove diaphragm side 1st. Remove the diaphragm and you should see the metal spring through the hole where the small o-ring seats. While turning the petcock position lever, you should see the tip of the spring come up through the hole in the prime position, and it goes back down in the run and reserve positions. My 81 Suzuki GS650G ran like crap until I fixed this issue. It doesn't hurt to put a little lube on the petcock lever o-ring before assembly, much easier to turn. I also discovered with the bike running, I sprayed carb cleaner around the intake boots that bolt to the motor and noticed all 4 were leaking. With these 2 problems fixed, and my own modifications on the pod filters, she screams.
