So the original petcock on my 1995 Heritage Softail Classic is leaking which explains why I have been running out of gas unexpectedly. The bike is very mild, with an EV13 cam, dyno jet carb kit, dynatek ignition, heads slightly milled for compression, stock pipes with baffles removed and big city thunder baffles installed where the mufflers slip on to the header pipes. In other words, it doesn't need much more fuel than stock. I had a pingel on a Sportster in the 90's and the selection was pretty straightforward. Now there is a dizzying array of choices.

Here is a short video of it idling. I recorded this on my iPhone 6. It's the first video I ever uploaded to you tube.

You can't go wrong with a Pingle.

The Pingel is the best, IMHO. Power-Flo or something similar is the model name for the one that fits our Harley's...
