    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.

Pingel Vaccum Petcock

Has anyone used one of the vacuum operated pingels and is there any benefit to this one over a standard pingel? I want to get away from the stock petcock I've rebuilt it twice and still trickles. If anyone has any input please let me know. If I knew how to add pictures I would, could someone take a sec and run that down for me too. Thanks.

I don't know that the vaccum one will work on the GS. I think it's a Harley only model. I would love to be proven wrong.

It may be that only a Harley can suck that much to use it...

How often do the original petcocks go bad? I've had several over the years, and never had but one that gave any problem. Replaced it about a month ago with OEM. As someone said in a previous post, an OEM is less than $50, so why fool with the rebuild? Rekon the Pingle vacum, on average, will last longer than OEM?
 
I can't see any value at all in going from one vacuum operated tap to another. Even though mine seems to work alright (except the prime function which never worked from new) and doesn't drip I'd much rather a pingel high flow "non vacuum" tap with an "off" and "reserve" function. :twisted:
 
Agreed - I've had 5 bikes to date and the petcocks on every one of them leaked. Some chronically and others just once in a while.

yeah, one of the first things I do when I get a bike is change the petcock to a
Pingel regardless of whether the OEM petcock is working correctly or not.

That's the way I do it too. Potential problem solved.
