Sorry if I sounded snarky...it wasn't the best day...So you have my apology...
However, I am someone "using a Pingel on their GS" as you requested.
My '83 GS1100E, is on its second Pingel in 10 years...
I just don't think it has any advantage over stock, only disadvantages...
Next time it fails, I am going back to stock...
Had one a low 9 sec, GS drag bike too, and it also needed to be replaced once...
But hey...It's your money...
Regards
No apology necessary, it's all good. I Was just confused that you have an OEM that lasts 20 years but you have a Pingel on your GS1100 . I have a new OEM on my '85 GS1150 and it leaks. I have rebuilt many OEM petcocks with success using the kits, but not this one . I have a Pingle on my Valkyrie 11 years now with no issues , but have never tried one on my 1150 . Thanks for your input on your experience with Pingel on your GS , good tech info .

This happened after a rebuild from Pingel. They were apologetic but a tiny piece of rubber floating around inside a carb MIGHT have disastrous results.
cutting it off shorter. It was hitting the cam cover. At some point it had a weep, as I don't think it came with a gasket and had to fabricate one. Solved that eventually.
I seized three brand new Wiseco pistons recently and haven't bothered to rebuild yet, so using a stock motor I stole out my wife's bike.
