    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pingel petcock and adapter.....

Does anyone know right off hand which petcock and adapter I would need for my 1983 GS650GD?

I am wanting to get rid of the vacuum style that I have.

Will this cause any problems with the carbs with it being gravity fed all the time?

Would it be advisable to turn it off after every ride?

Anything else I need to know?

I am thinking of doing this mod while I am replacing the headgasket.

Thanks in advance.
 
If using the pingel you are supposed to turn it to the off position each and everytime you shut down the engine. Forget to do that and your next step is an oil change if you float valves don't stop the gas flow.
 
Because the Yammy has a manual petcock, I have the habit of turning off the flow. It is like second nature and most of the time I don't even think about turning it off and then on. If you get a manual, make sure you turn it off.
 
Pingel makes a lot of different styles, aluminum or chrome finishes. Go to their web site pingelonline.com or phone 888-4-pingel. They will steer you straight. Good product.
