    Anyone use this Pingle valve??

    Has anyone used this or similar operating inline valves? Run the petcock on prime and run the vacuum to this...or use a tee and run a vacuum to the petcock AND the inline valve sort of like a double redundant backup system???

        Tom..wasnt thinking "novelty". I was thinking that instead of spending money on new petcocks and rebuild kits with a 50/50 chance of them working, get one of these and then you dont need to worry if the petcock is failing or not...just as a piece of mind thing is where i was thinking from.

          Just get rid of the vac line nonsense On my triumph I run an adapter plate(navigate through accessories to find)
          and standard off-res-on pingel. I'm sure a suitable combo on a GS can be found.

            Well since i want to keep the skunks and Cooley looking stock in every aspect, to include the petcocks, thats not an option for me.

              Until you forget to shut your fuel off one day and your crank case fills up with gas and then eats your bearings...

              No thanks.

                That's a CV carb thing. VMs have overflow tubes.

                  They do, provided they're not clogged up with road slime and god knows what else. I'd still rather not chance it personally.

                    Road slime? Really?
                    You mean to tell me you don't spend days cleaning every hose and tube after every short ride?
