Petcock for 900b1?

I need to replace the petcock on my '76ltd and I'm curious if there is an economical option. I have a non vacuum, dual fuel outlet setup.
Can I get a manual single fuel line fuel valve and just "T" it off into my existing two lines?

get a pingel dual outlet and you won't ever regret it a very high quality product.

You can get a Pingel high volume single outlet and 'T' it but they also are still about $100...but they are worth it.

I have a pingle dual outlet that's less than a year old and it won't shut off so I don't know about the high quality. I called and asked if they sold a rebuild kit and was told that only for the single outlet, for the duals you have to send it back to them.

Thanks, that is exactly the info I was looking for, as I was looking at the z1 parts as well. I was just looking for an alternative to sourcing out another 30yr old used part.

Still not economical though. If T'ing it off will work, I believe I will just get the cheaper single outlet. My plan is to eventual build this bike into a nice ride, but for right now, I want to get it together to ride on the cheap.

Petcock to Tee, then dual lines to carb intakes, should work just fine.

May run a single inline fuel filter between petcock and Tee. Or run two inline filters, being a separate filter in each of the dual lines.

Good Luck!

This is exactly what I was thinking, I ran more line and a filter on my last bike to give it more reservoir for full throttle runs.

Thanks!

I bought an inexpencive one from Z1 and it works great no problems and supplys all the gas I need it was only like 14 dollars ...
