Leaky vacuum petcocks?

#1 Unread post by jstark47 »

Anyone here have any experience troubleshooting leaky vacuum petcocks? Last night after I got home my '03 Triumph Trophy 1200 started leaking down the outside, looks like its coming from the area of the petcock selector switch. I moved it back to the shed cause it was stinking up the garage something fierce. Several hours later the leak had stopped by itself. WTF? I haven't had time to play around with it since.

Bike seems to start and run fine, BTW. So I'm guessing the vacuum line's not the problem?
