Nah, it's the factory one. My silly @$$ trusted Google AI when it said it had a vacuum actuated petcock. Sounded legit for a feature laden tourer from 07, but alas, there is some serious old school tech on these bikes. I did find elsewhere on here the model petcock i can get to add a vacuum actuated one. Its not a big deal to flip the thing on and off, but ill probably have that on my project list. Just seems proper for it to have one. So, proper use of the petcock will likely clear up my gas smell problem, lol. Thanks!

I am not turn8ng off the peacock. It was my understanding that it is vacuum actuated. Perhaps not or that feature is no longer working?

I picked up a gorgeous 07 Midnight Venture a few weeks ago. I'm noticing a pretty significant gas smell when it's parked or I'm at a stop. When I first got it, it was dripping a little bit of fuel underneath. That stopped. I think the dealer had overfilled it. I've run 1/3 of a can of Seafoam through it thinking maybe a stuck float. It definitely still has a strong smell. Maybe residue from the overfill...but I don't think so. I think something is wrong. I had a carbureted bike a million years ago (81 Honda CB750) it also smelled of gas much of the time. Is this just a feature of carbureted bikes or is something wrong that I might fix? Pic for attention.
