So I've been pretty adept at repairing chinese mopeds however I have a question that may seem simple to some. What is the overall difference between a 3 port and a 4 port petcock? Is it critical? Does it have to do with amount of vacuum supplied?

It's a 50cc taotao for further clarification.

Is the petcock in question attached directly to the gas tank? Or is it mounted via the frame/elsewhere?

As far as I van tell there is no other difference than an additional hole to be plugged. Either way, I had so many troubles with the diaphragms in them tearing that I just switched to a manual cut off valve and havent had a single problem since.

It's attached to the frame. I left out that little detail didn't I? The old petcock has 4 ports and has been sitting for over a year unused. The one that the local parts store has is a 3 port. So before purchasing I wanted to make sure it wouldn't affect anything.  It seems to be my only problem with the scooter so far. |
