Replace it with a Pingle petcock. No more flow problems as you upgrade and need more fuel. Easy to change also. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hardest (longest) part about changing a fuel valve is draining the gas from the tank. You can cheat, take the tank off, tip it sideways...but you'll have the best luck draining the tank (swish it around and get any debris out while it's off) and using brake clean on a rag to get a clean, dry surface. If you do got with a pingel, don't forget to use teflon tape on the threads of the fuel valve where it goes into the plate. You can usually find a used pingle for 50 to 60 bucks, and a new for 75ish or so. I saw stock fuel valve rebuild kits, however...on ebay for 17 bucks shipped just a week or so ago.
