Pingel fuel valves
Hi I bought a 1980 GS750ET with the fuel valve already converted. The Pingel valve # 6211-CH (which is the correct spec per the Pingel website www.pingelonline.com) is a really nice component however it has only only 1 outlet for the main fuel line and no outlet for the vacuum line. Have Pingel got it wrong or am I missing something ?

Nope...it's all good. No vacumn line on the pingal.
Turn it on to run, off when you stop.
The vacumn port on the #2 carb should be plugged.

From what I understand and please somone correct me if I'm wrong.
Simply cap the vacuum fitting on the carbs.
The Pingel is either on or off. No vacuum applied.
Turn it on when you get on the bike. And much more importantly, turn it OFF when you shut the bike off.
Otherwise fuel, from gravity, will continue to flow into the carbs. Not good.

yep you got it. The Pingel should have three positions Off, Res and On. Reserve is half way between Off and On. It should be written on rather small letters on the rim just above the lever.Comment

I leave my Pingel on all the time. If the float needle and seat are good and/or clean it won't leak into the engine.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

Didn't know that Chef. Guess it shows how little I know about the inner working of carbs. I can clean the little buggers, though.Originally posted by chef1366 View Post
I still think, getting the habit of turning it off would be a good idea. Just in case the float needle and/or seat fails.
Yea or ney?

You couldn't be more right. It's a good idea and should be a part of your riding process. It will save you trouble, for certain.Originally posted by Larry D View PostDidn't know that Chef. Guess it shows how little I know about the inner working of carbs. I can clean the little buggers, though.
