Aftermarket petcock

This involves fuel delivery so carburetor seems the best place to put this. :whistle: The aftermarket petcocks don't allow enough fuel for larger carbs.

Took it out for a run and realized it cured another problem.

The 22mm petcock bung thread is also the same size Harley Davidson fat bob tanks use! But being single outlet, you could split the single into a 2 way. They HD uses 1/4" hose. But for stock applications. All these years Guy's looking for a cheap replacement? Could have used HD petcocks. I have a nice Pingel valve with a 3/8" NPT adaptor for a 22mm that is used on a 1200cc with 38 lectrons on it.. All 3 of these valves are interchangeable between Kaw And Harley. Thought I'd share that info.

Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
