Drag petcocks do all right on my Sporty but I had a small inline fuel filter that didn't work too well.
Got up to 65 on the Hi-way and she felt like she was starvin' 4 go-juice put in a larger
filter (about 2 inches diameter) and she ran fine. Thing is I replaced valve with what I thought was
same as 1st as the tube height is the same.
It was a weird thing, around 96 to a 100 miles on main tank, starts crapping out as it was there
was a gas station, she took a gallon so it meant I was getting 48 to 50 a gallon, turns out the petcock
was fouled up with all sorts o' **** at the base next to the tube, so reserve did not work.
I somehow got the idea that since the P'nut tanks were 2 and a 1/4 gallons, the reserve was good for
12 to 12 and a half miles, so at 48 mpg without reserve came to 134 miles. So I get up to 34 miles
figuring I'd be changing over to reserve pretty quickly, I was right, she started to **** out and I switched
to reserve with NO continuation of engine running. The tank was empty like WTF?" I still have the
old valve I will probably put old valve back in and get some reserve or carry a 1 gal Jerry jug on back porch
back rest, yeah than I have another 48 miles.
