    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

    Hey Chuck, plumb one of these in, they don't break, you will just have to keep going fast to keep the juice flowing.

      Chuck, aren't you the one who posted that Pingel shutoff valve?
      Anyone use this Pingle valve?? - The GSResources Forums

      Place your GS carburetor, fuel or exhaust questions in this forum.


      I surfed the web a bit and didn't find anything else other than that Pingel, stock petcocks, or shutoffs operated with an electric solenoid. Why are you looking for this? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just get a new Suzuki vacuum petcock? Certainly cheaper than that Pingel.

      FWIW, I have a Pingel on my Harley, but would not buy one again. It works great, but it doesn't have any advantage over much cheaper petcocks other than it's nice to look at.

      And Flyboy, I always thought it would be cool to mount on of those vacuum generator whateveryoucallums inside one of my gear doors. It would be a nice source of alternate vacuum if my pump went out.

        I knew an ol timer who had one plumbed in and sitting on the floor. If his pump took a poop in the soup he could pop open the pilots vent window and stick it out and get vacuum for his gyro.

              There actually is a wind-turbine driven alternator (maybe with a vacuum pump too) that hangs inside gear doors. I believe they have an STC for the Mooney, but it's a lot of money for the amount of flying I get in.
