Naw radek, I'd just not heard of the GS fuel cocks not opening completely, they usually get rebuilt or replaced because they won't shut off completely. Hope this install is reasonably simple & corrects your problem.

Mine won't start on PRI fuel tap setting for about 10-15 tries, then goes rodeo mode when I ride it. Really hope this will address the issue, riding season ain't long in Ontario.Originally posted by rphillips View Post1980 GS1100EComment

I bought the dual outlet for mine, but the setup is the same otherwise. I wasn't happy with the centered adaptor & bought the offset adaptor to suit my application.
I also had to file the tank opening to fit the screen inside the tank opening. I thought about rinsing the tank also, but my (smartassed) wife saysWhy don't you just hold the file backwards & drag the metal filings out?

Giving it a go tomorrow, really hope I won't need another adaptor
Will file it out for sure, thanks for the tips!

Update on the Pingel fuel tap install - tap screen did not require filing to the tank opening. Went in smooth, entire procedure took much less than expected. It looks awesome, I might however have a small leak from the gasket so likely reinstall with sealant very soon. That fuel valve has a very heavy flow, when turned on with engine not running fuel drips from the carbs in seconds - haven't tested it running yet, hope it won't leak then. I totally get the "turn it off quarter mile before your destination" comment now. Thanks all for your help! Cheers!Last edited by radek22; 07-17-2021, 12:31 AM.1980 GS1100EComment

Hi Radek, I installed a dual outlet with reserve on my 83 1100e a couple of years ago and I really like it. Had to file the tank a little ( downwards). I shut off the petcock when I shut off the engine not when I am still riding the bike. A petcock is digital in operation either on or off nothing in between. Unless the fuel was left on when the engine was shut off any leaking from the carbs can be blamed on the carbs. I hope this clarifies the situation.1983 gs1100ed restro-mod. 1998 gsxr 1100 almost mint, 2019 kawasaki klx250, 2011 Beta 250 evo trials bike, 2017 Montesa 300rr trials bike, 2021 honda crf250rx woods weaponComment

Hey Chris, mine is a single outlet without vacuum line, maybe a bit more inconvenient with the necessity for shut off but I'm pretty sure I'll just get used to it.Originally posted by chris View Post1980 GS1100EComment

Yeah, I thought the same and was going to file it, but it installed without enlarging the opening.Originally posted by gs11ezrydr View Post1980 GS1100EComment

Dual outlet is still manual, you have to shut it off when engine is not running.Originally posted by radek22 View Post1983 gs1100ed restro-mod. 1998 gsxr 1100 almost mint, 2019 kawasaki klx250, 2011 Beta 250 evo trials bike, 2017 Montesa 300rr trials bike, 2021 honda crf250rx woods weaponComment
