So all petcock valves operate the same? Can I get a replacement from the local auto parts store? I am new to this and finally got by second hand baja dn 150 running. After a few laps around the yard the throttle cable broke and I figured, who need that and ran a few more and the cock valve broke. So again I ask, can I but this at the auto parts store?

welcome to the group
a motorcycle shop should have the petcock valve
2 main types 1 with two hoses and 1 with 1 hose
two hose type use vacuum as a fuel pump
1 hose type gravity fed

You likely have the vaccuum operated one (two hoses). You can switch over to the single style one if you can find it or go to a local scooter shop and if they sell parts there, they will likely have the petcock you need.
