Default High Flow Petcock

I have a 2001 FLSTC and my vacuum petcock is gone. I bought a new high flow petcock and was wondering when I install it do I have to plug the vent line on top of the carb to make everything work properly.

If you had a vacuum-operated petcock and you're going to one that isn't, you'll need to plug the vacuum line, or if possible, remove it and cap the source. A vacuum leak and a carb don't generally get along too well.
