    Petcock Fuel Flow??

    In general, does a properly functioning petcock on a GS850 flow enough fuel for an engine with a header and pods??

    Also, under hard accelleration, is it possible that the vacuum can drop enough to temporarily slow fuel flow through the petcock?

    Just trying to check things off my trouble-shooting list.

    Thanks,

    It fills your float bowls up with a good amount of fuel so you shouldnt be having a starved engine. You could potentially adjust the float height to allow more fuel but I couldn't tell you what would be good.

      The petcock is fine unless you have a drag racer

        That's what I figured... I'll focus elsewhere then... Thanks.
