    I ordered a new petcock and just realized it only has one connector for fuel line. The old one on the bike has two one for the fuel and one that goes to the intake boot. Is a 1982 maxim 750. When I bought the new petcock, it said for this bike. Do I have to connect this vacuume house

    OEM petcocks are vacuum operated. After-market ones aren't. You just have plug the nipple that the vacuum hose is attached to.
