Default issues with my **** !!!
just bought a new petcock from drag.. worked fine for about 20 minutes..

then i got the surging a bucking you get when u run low on fuel..

slap it in reserve, get to the gas station and my tank is half empty?

regardless, i fill her up re-position the petcock to the on position..and starts coughing and burping but no start...

decide to try it in reserve and she starts right up...

played with the position of a couple of times .. still no go..

any ideas on what the issue may be?? my old one was working fine.. just wanted a little chrome

Agree with Soft 02, Get a Pingel. A little pricey but a quality product.
