    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Petcock flow

Define "more efficient" and why you think you need a "more efficient" petcock.

An OEM or OEM replacement petcock can flow far more fuel than even a very heavily modified GS engine can use.

Your petcock is over 30 years old and it does not work correctly, and it will not work correctly. The only proven path forward is to replace the petcock with a new one that works as designed. Rebuild kits do not work. Hillbilly workarounds do not work.

Look at it this way: it's a valve that controls the flow of a highly flammable substance a few inches from your gonads. :eek:

Agree he needs to replace. Efficiency????? LOL :)
Maybe so but by the time you get to 1166 cc it will fuel starve.
Take that back, stock 1100e/pods/pipe/0.340 cam got starvation in hard pull around 120 mph (closed circuit testing)

So I should buy the petcock assembly from georgefix for $60? That seems to be the best price. I think partsoutlaw has them too. Maybe I can get the dealer to price match...
