Petcock leaking

This is a different leak than normal. Mine is only leaking when the engine is running, but it is leaking from around the nipple the hose goes on. Thought maybe was from the hose itself, but after putting a screw type clamp on hose over nipple, it still leaks. Am wondering what replacements are being used other than stock, even a manual without the vaccum operation. Looking for a cheaper than stock option if possible.

i had issues with the stock petcock as well. after messing with it for idk how many hours, i found a better replacement. I found that the a petcock for a raptor 660 (something yamaha), would fit vulcan 800s. I ordered one off of amazon for $20> and it fit perfect. Just a manual one, no vacuum operation. I think that there are also some pingels that would work too, but then you are getting into more money. Let me know if you want a link.
