Petcock 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
Hi guys
I’m getting read to install my new Mikuni 42 HSR Flatslide Carburetor and I was wondering if I really need to install the Pingel Powerflow Petcock to get the best performance
Thanks Jay

Pingel Powerflow Petcock for RoadStar Flows over 85 oz of fuel per minute to satisfy the most thirsty motor at lest thats what they say it pumps, looks like I better get a bigger gas tank
So I would have to say yes on it being bigger

When someone is asking for help posting a picture of a chicken and asking you own separate question isn't how to help them. Then the next poster commented on your picture ignoring the original question completely so I deleted their post too. 10-4?

Re:Petcock 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
Musky has the right answer, try it, if it works, then ok, if any trouble what so ever look there 1st.

What I wonder, is with that high flow petcock won't that pull gas from the tank so fast that when you get on it....... you'll hear like a metal crinkling noise and look down to see your tank has imploded?

So if you do have to install the High flow petcock also consider the MOD where you vent the gas cap.

Don't forget to post back how it worked so we all know. I may install a different carb one day but the ones I was looking at were like $1500.

I have the stock petcock and run an HSR and have no problems at all, I need to go to reserve a little sooner as I also do not have the fuel pump...

Re:Petcock 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
It was a picture of a rooster. lots of people reply with something funny then get serious.

My question about the Pingle Powerflow Petcock was a very serious question as I had never heard of it and was simply asking if the downtube was bigger.

My understanding was as long as the subject matter sticks to the orginal thread it was ok. The orginal thread was about the PPP so I to asked a question about it.

So I am sorry about the rooster pick.(petcock)

So is the down tube on the PPP bigger?
