Pingle dual outlet to single inlet carbs. ? was created by kzdcw
I'm probably asking the obvious, but my 77' KZ1000A gas tank has a new Pingle dual outlet fuel petcock. The ( 2 ) fuel lines leaving go to the stock carb. ( 2 ) fuel Tee's . The used set of carbs. I have and am planning to mount down the road are 28mm accelerator pumpers. They only have a single ( 1 ) fuel inlet on the carbs.
So my question is, do I run 2 fuel lines from the petcock to a Y-splitter, then a single ( 1 ) fuel line to the fuel T on the carbs. ? Hate to loose my New Pingle fuel petcock.

Use the splitter. Is the line to the carbs larger?

Steve, The fuel line that I'm using will slide over the fuel T at the carbs. and splitter tightly . Will use some fuel line clamps if needed . I was just trying to avoid purchasing another fuel petcock .

I say do it. If you can come up with a fuel resistant cap for one of the barbs on the fuel valve, you would have a more elegant solution. You would want to be sure that the single line is the same inside diameter, or larger, than stock to insure sufficient flow.

Don't fix it until it's broken.

The only experience I have with a dual outlet petcock is on my 71 CL350. interesting to note that it will only flow fuel out of one hole at a time if only one line is drawing fuel. Plug that line and fuel comes out the other outlet. I found that out when I was trying to drain my tank for removal. I hope that makes sense? So I vote for the "Plug one outlet and use a single line to the carbs keeping the Pingle".
