    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.

What's up everyone,

I've tried rebuilding my oem petcock but still leaks. From reading on here it seems that a pingle style system is the way to go. I have found sources for them but there are so many and the ones designated for my model don't seem to be the same size units. Will I need to re drill for this unit or are they basically just a "plug and play" type of unit.

Any help would be great and thanks in advance.

The very first part that I replaced on my bike was the petcock. No rebuilding or cleaning or extensive contemplation about how to save the orignal unit. Just ordered the new OEM unit, mounted it, replaced the tank and "voila!". No leaks and fuel delivery is just as it s/b.
 
I just installed a Pingel valve on my GS1000. I got from Z1 enterprizes who are great to deal with. I wish that all aftermarket stuff fit and worked this well!!!

Pingel

I replaced my OEM petcock some time back (after going thru two rebuild kits) with a Pingel a little modification was required I used a rat tail file and enlarged the opening in order for the petcock to fit up inside the tank.
Very well stistied with this unit.
