Title: Too much fuel?
Post by daweise1 on 08/27/08 at 10:25:37

Ok, after fighting with my leaking tank, I bought a used Harley that I'm modding to the bike, very similiar to what many of the kind folks here have done.

My question is this.... If I install a Pingel High Flow petcock on my bike, will this "flood" the carb? I'm afraid that it since it is considered high flow for a Harley twin, my single will not use all the gas and I will have a "leaking"/overflowed carb.

Normally, I would get the regular one that is much cheaper, but I like the "Flame" petcock and it fits the theme for this winters mod and paint...... 8-)

And excuse my learning if this is a really silly question, but I tend to like getting it right the first time and you all have been an excellent scource of knowledge without selling me something like the stealerships.

No worries,...It is gravity flow the same as the stock Suzuki, the float needle in the carb will not let too much gas in...
