sprinklerman Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Look at the dial it has a bean shaped cut out when this is in off position it sits below the two round outlet holes from on and res. when on it turns to let on flow through half of it and same when on res. if you port on and reserve to be one hole which is the only way to acually improve flow and not just be dual outlet it will still only flow through half of the bean shape port on dial. First post is not correct as its been a few days since I looked at it and had got rusty on y it wouldn't work. I know this is makes no sense to most but if I got it apart u will be able to figure it out. This ^ You have to open up the inside of the petcock ( look at what Abe is describing)with a carbide burr to get any actual flow improvement...and if you measure it,,its a small amount at that. that mod was fairly common in 1999-2000. You have to basiclly connect the "reserve" and 'On" positions via the inside of the knob where the fuel flows,but even then,its a small gain. If you really NEED the extra flow,get a pingle as has already been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 The moral of my horrible cell written post is the dial will always prevent a true increased flow even if all on and reserve ports are opened to one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is makes no sense to most but if I got it apart u will be able to figure it out. Oh! Got it. Your right, the first restriction is the very first inlet. Now with me maintains the stock stepped on and reserve tubes it won't flow more. But it you were to do that it would, and you would only have on and off. Might as well buy a pingle. But I would feel a little more comfortable with separate lines. One hose to the T and then into 2. Split. Now obviously it just fills the bowls and maintains a level setting. On wide open runs your splitting it. Can a stocker drink more then that? More then likely not. But I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel. I'm just trying something to see my results, it looks pretty cool IMO and its a cheap easy mod that YOU can physically do in your garage.

375hp banshees Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 maybe i read all this wrong but, if your adding a completely separate valve you'll double your flow; if u put 1 to each carb; so it will do what sheerider intended to do (more flow for cheep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Got my holes drilled/cut out. I roughed up the surface with some 80 grit sand paper to really give the rtv something to adhere to. After getting RTV all over everything and everywhere, I got it mounted. So maybe tomorrow I'll get this thing filled with some water and see if it leaks. But I would just like to thank zillafreak for sending me petcock at no charge. Bri894 for offering me a petcock which I still have yet to pick up from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zillaguy Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 It was so easy to mount my Pingle.... No RTV, no drilling, no worrying about fuel leaks, no having to remember to turn both petcocks on... It's cool this can be done... But isn't this why Pingle makes a high-flow dual feed? Just seems like alot of effort for something someone already makes, and is known to work flawlessly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 It's cheap. It cost me nothing. In total the time it took me was maybe a little over an hour. Like I said, I have a pingle. But I'm all for free/cheap mods. I had a slotted stock timing plate. I do all this on my girlfriends bike because its just to try stuff out. I did all the porting as well on her bike. Next is modding the trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Ok so curious here, why do you even need dual for a stock bike? You said you don't want to waste the money on a dual pingle for it, but if that's all the bike is, why not just run the oem the way it came?

You said you don't want to waste the money on a dual pingle for it, but if that's all the bike is, why not just run the oem the way it came? Just to see how easy/hard it is. So if anyone in the future wants to do it they can see its fairly simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Looks like the normal petcock sits a little lower than the new one. I'd run em both on reserve and never let it get close to running out. Should be good then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 the dual petcock? not one bit....hell I respect the fact that your doing it.....looks pretty interesting. Just pointing out why rjd was saying he couldn't figure out why you were doing it to a stock bike.....I just underlined that you said it was a ported bike... looks pretty slick what your doing.....hope you don't forget to turn one of them on...
