Ripassbrother Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 My mechanic says the only thing my bike needs now is a Pringel Valve. He says my bike is really sucking fuel. Im not sure if he is just trying to get more money out of me or if they really are as good as he says they are? What do you guys think of them? Are they worth every penny? or are the stock valves fine? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesw Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 they are nice the flow to each carb is great. i still have a problem with air bubbles in the lines. it sucks you have to drain the bowl to clear them. then after wards works great. if your motor needs fuel or on alky it would be a good investment. there were some on ebay going cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripassbrother Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Im running 160 compression. so you get bubbles in the lines with the Pringel? Sounds like that would be a hassle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee4u Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 My only question is how can those little jets out flow a 1/4 fuel line.I have seen more problems on the gas cap vapor locking then anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestar Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Ported motors should have one. The cfm is higher freeflowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshee03 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 the pingel is great on any banshee whether its stock or highly modded.it allows much more supply to the carbs than the stock petcock does since it has a larger tube feeding from the tank and dual lines to carbs instead of one then teeing into two lines. wes there must be a simple reason your getting air bubbles in lines.i never have trouble with bubbles in my lines.probally just the way you have them routed and bent.

wesw Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 straight and no major bends. who knows maybe it was a one time deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Op Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I got the one that hooks into my boost bottle, I also recomend brown power bands. They asre said with this setup alone on a stocker you can get 30-35 mpg and =20 h.p* *Depending on what powerband you get Yellow 20 h.p Red 2.09987 hp Black 70 hp Blue .oooo00005 hp Tie Dye Hippie hp Clear 27.69 ft/lbs hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aczar Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I just modded my stock one by drilling out opposite the stock outlet and putting a new barb in there. I dont know if it will flow as much as the Pingel one but I like having the 2 separate lines instead of spliting the single hose into two.

sheefreak Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 You shouldn't need one unless you are running alky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9603banshee Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 You shouldn't need one unless you are running alky. 492952[/snapback] Sheefreak is exactly right!! You DO NOT need one if you're not running alky, it will not help at all with gas motors....my 2 cents!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malott 1 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 75 dollars might be a cheap investment and peace of mind instead of a whole new top end when you runner her empty at the end of the strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowriderb Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 75 dollars might be a cheap investment and peace of mind instead of a whole new top end when you runner her empty at the end of the strip. 492967[/snapback] i was just thinking the same thing.. on the larger gas motors your still going to be out flowing the stock petcock by the carbs.. i would get one and put it in yourself instead of paying someone to do it for you, its fairly simple to do as well the basics of it are you pull off the stock one, cut out the middle section to fit the pingel in it and the screw the plate on to the tank, the teflon tape the threads on the valve and screw it in.. not too much work at all to have the piece of mind that your stuff isnt going to suck the lines dry..
