Default KFX80 LT80 petcock swap

My shop had its fill of the crappy fuel pump style petcock.
We now install Yamaha PW80 petcocks.
Since gravity feeds, the pump is not needed and u also get the benefit of REAL fuel off AND a REAL reserve function.

Hope this helps anyone out there

Thanks, is it a direct replacement for the stock unit? This has been on my list of things to do as I would like a true shutoff when loading it into the toyhauler. I have also heard of people using Banshee petcocks in place of the stock one.

Stock LT80 petcocks don't pump. It's a diaphram that is suposed to open the petcock when vaccum is made.
Suzuki LT160 and LT250r petcocks work also.
The banshee petcocks are cheap but the hose barbs are bigger.
A 3 dollar on/off valve from the lawn mower section of autozone does the same job.
