Will a Pingel fit my bike???

[chuckycheese]

Sorry to belabor this issue but I don't want to buy a Pingel and get "stuck" with it if it won't work. I have a 1980 GS750L with the crummy little "slot" style petcock....it's there for a reason. The space is extremely tight and I'm wondering if a Pingel will fit...anybody out there with a bike like mine that's running a Pingel?? Thanks, guys!

Charlie, the Pingel valve on my 750 requires a space 1 5/8" tall and 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" to have space for the hex nut, fuel line and room to switch the valve on and off. Al Yelton has a 80 750E with a Pingel installed. I do not think you will have any problem.

Thanks

Hey Earl, thanks very much for your thoughts and advice...I'll measure out the estimated circumferance and go from there....the 1 5/8 is a tall order, too. The space I have is incredibly small....I'm not at all sure it will fit but I'll let everyone know...I"m still hopeful I'll hear from someone with a bike like mine. :roll:

petcock

Hi Chuck

I have been thinking about installing a Pingel as well. Will be interested to hear what you find. I probably have the same style petcok on my 1980 GS1100 as was fitted to your bike. I could never get the prime function to work.

Patrick, I have a Pingel on my '81 GS1100E...you and I have the same tank and everthing so you should have no problem fitting one to your bike. Chuck has a L model which is a different from ours.
