Alternative to Pingel.

[Pegleg]

Having just missed @Paulmbargain, anybody found an alternative hi flow tap for a Blandit. Not penny pinching but wanna save where I can.

I make these for all my bikes :

And use these inline valves with brass spigots :

This setup will outlast the bikes

Total cost around 10€

Any chance you do one to fit the wn 750 tank? And would it be suitable for standard powerscreen carbs.

Ah cool @Joseph That's an easy solution. Did the same on my other project where carb clearance was tight. Shoulda realised. What do you use for a gasket?

[Joseph]

Aaah thats the problem.

It's not a fancy CNCed plate where i could use an OE gasket in a nice groove, so i use an anonymous sheet of rubber i had in a box of stuff, and cut bits off that 

Unfortunately i don't know what compound it is, but it must be a some kind of something fuel compatible ?

If you can score some then it's just Stanley knife and hole punch time and you'll be good to go, well cheap and bulletproof mod

Sorry I messed up a bit there I thought you was selling them. They joys of being dis-wotsit I read things wrong sometimes. 

But i need something like this for my 7/11 project. Would something like this cause issues with flooding the carb due to higher flow / more pressure?

[Joseph]

I had a few alloy plates laser cut but no stock and i didn't think i could market it anyway 

7/11 non turbo ?

I use this setup on my 1216cc with RS38 and there is no running issues at all.

Obviously no reserve function, but i just refuel every 250km and thats never been a problem

[KennyKak]

Nope just a standard power screen engine and carbs for now. Once it's up and running OK I'm gona look if it's worth doing the 1216 big bore or buy another engine and turboing it. Leaning towards the big bore at the moment 

[KennyKak]

How are you attaching the spigot to the plate?

[Joseph]

Simple tap and screw in jobbie

Is the original tap actually a problem?

No idea but need to eliminate it as a possible problem.

I don't have any problems with my stock GS1000 tap.

@JosephWhat bore is that tap? Got a link? 

[Joseph]
