fuel vacuum valve

Postby Tommysparta » Sun Dec 02, 2018 3:58 pm

1982 cb650. My fuel vacuum valve is not part of the petcock valve, its mounted on Carb #4 (stock). I can find a replacement for the valve to allow fuel to flow. I've searched everywhere for a replacement with no success. Will a petcock valve with the vacuum valve build in, fit on my CB 650, or can I run the bike without the vacuum valve as long as I remember to shut off the petcock. (Just got the bike running beautifully and it shut down....no fuel to the carbs). Thank you

Yes, most previous models are just like that.
You should plug the vacuum nipple for this valve at the carbs however.

Thank you. I by-passed the valve and it seems to run fine. I'd like to replace the valve since I know I will forget to turn off the petcock at some point. Any leads as to where I can find one? Thanks again.
