1978 GS1000 Petcock options

[mdaily]

Hello:

I have a trick race bike (street legal now) that has a lot of after market items and upgrades making it very far from stock.

The petcock is no longer vacume actuated and gas is jsut dumping into the bike.

Is there a gravity petcock having three simple off/reserve/on options I could buy somewhere?

Why not get a stock petcock?
BTW, that is one GORGEOUS bike!!!

Thanks, its a real stunner and gets a lot of attention. I even have vintage shots of it racing on the old Westwood track. The bike was donated to us and we made her street legal and sold it to my neigboor and gave the profits to missionaries- that's what we do at MISSIONmoto.org.

So, why not an original petcock? He wants to have a reserve function and an off function. I'm hesitant to go into the carbs to check the float needle seal and the float height (since I don't have the specs on these carbs) since the issue is gas going everywhere and the owner would rather have a quick option to turn the gas completely off.

I'm thinking about just cutting in an inline fuel shut of valve to get him down the road the rest of our Seattle summer.

Let me know if you want to see more pics
