No, you don't HAVE to have a petcock with a vacuum line. Plenty of people have replaced their petcocks with non-vac versions. Have you checked to be sure fuel flows through the petcocks? It should flow even without the bike turned on. Once you determine that, try opening the drain valves on the bottom of the float bowls to be sure fuel flows into the carbs.1980 XS850SG - Sold

Does fuel flow out of the petcock? Remove the hose from the petcock and open the valve. Does anything come out? Is the fuel line plugged at all?1980 XS850SG - Sold

Not sure about the 750 version, but if it is the same as the 1100, then your petcock should flow if in the PRIME position regardless of vacuum.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
