How to rebuild a Pingel petcock
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I had a Pingel petcock that was leaking from years of use. I thought it was time to rebuild it and I ordered a rebuild kit which to my surprise came with no instructions as to how to perform such task. I did some web searching and the only thing I found was an option to send it to the manufacture so they can rebuild it for a fee. I did not bother to ask how much since I had already purchased the rebuild kit. I did some figuring out and made a video to try and help others which might be in the same situation.
Like and share if this video helped you.
Thank you for watching.
Pretty excellent little video! Thanks!
Great tutorial, camera work close up showed all the steps in great detail and the simple,straight forward instructions made everything I need to do clear, thanks for putting this out there, ride safe.
You are welcome and thank you! Keep the rubber side down
well made instructional video. i will be doing mine as soon as the kit shows up. thanks
You still the man.. this is what I needed to do my leaker. And excellent tutorial.. no freakn music and straight instructions. Keep the greasy side down brother. 👍👌
Thank you, I'm always happy to help. Gonna post more content soon.
Thanks for sharing your experience . The best tuto I have found about pingel petcock repairing !
Cool video, you can also send it to them and they will rebuild it for $28 bucks
Good, useful video. I got a chuckle at the VERY end, where you were looking for the "off" button... you said what I say at times like that :) Thanks again!
Lol you are welcome.
Could you give me the part number for the kit. And where you got that I would very much appreciate that thank you and your video was excellent
Definitely a great video as far as the visual for the inside working parts especially when it comes time for reassembly. But you could simplify it a little bit by cushioning the big part of the valve in the vise with cardboard or rag and doing everything like that instead of trying to hold the little part of the valve. Not criticizing just adding a step to make a little easier but it's always more than one way to skin a cat. The video definitely helped me because I couldn't find anything on these valves either and the visual was the most help ful part thanks bro.
Awesome video Bro. You motivated the hell out of me. I just bought the same petcock, installed it, filled up my tank, attempted to start my bike and nothing. The valve was facing the wrong direction and the orifices were completely obstructed not allowing fuel to leave the fuel tank. I watched your awesome DIY video, removed the thumb handle, spun the valve around in the correct position and reinstalled the thumb handle. I can see orifices in the fuel outlet nipple that I couldn't see before. I originally thought someone on the production line forgot to drill the orifices. Where in the hell is the QC at Pingel? This is the second defective Pingel petcock that I have purchased. I'm really starting to wonder about that company. Thanks again Bro for the kick ass video.
Glad I could help
Nice job, 'bout time someone did it.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Bro u rok, thanks 4 taking the time 2 do this. mine has bin leaking 4 a long time
I are welcome
Thanks for help me!! from Brazil, is hard to find this petcock here!!!
You're welcome, glad it helped you.
Great video! But I just called pingel directly and they said they would completely rebuild the petcock
and pressure test it for 18$ if you mail it to them! No problem no.
Not a bad deal.
Cheap, but then you have to have your scoot down for a week and a half.
Great vid. I’m tempted.
Just take it apart and replace the O-rings, that's pretty much the only thing that wears out.
Very helpful!
This is great thankyou. Mine has been smooth but tight to turn for years but suddenly feels a lot loser to turn. It still has some resistance but it's a lot loser than before. It looks like new o-rings would tighten it back up again?
Much appreciated. I need to rebuild my pingel when I turn the gas on, I get a drop or 2 on my hand.
Sounds like it need me o-rings.
Thank you for the vid.
You're welcome, glad to help
Great video thanks brother!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Where did you get the rebuild kit? I tried cycle shop where I bought it years ago and they said you cant rebuild it 🤦🏽♂️ i knew better but pingel site only shows large kits like for resale thanks
I can't find this O ring kit anywhere. The Pingel rebuild kit lists at over $100. Where did you get this?
Thanks for this
You are welcome
YOU CAN ' TAP THE *VALVE HANDLE / WITH THE ROLL PIN " BACK IN WITH A **SCREWDRIVER ** HANDLE ** AND YOU WONT SCRATCH IT UP THIS WAY
Thank you
You're welcome
Great video..where can I get the o rings
Thank you. You can try contacting Pingel
Great video man, thanks. I can not find the rebuild kit you used, the only one I can find is more expensive than a new petcock. Do you have a part number for the one you bought?
I bought it from ebay
Good video. I'm going to replace my stock petcock, but I'm confused. My FLHR is a vacuum petcock and I'm wondering how a Pingel would even work as it looks like gravity fed.
Thank you. They work just like you said, gravity. It is supposed to flow higher volume. On your bike, you will have to plug the vacuum port.
@@dosdeuno Thanks. I learned the mechanics of this right after I posted.
Great video and makes it a 15 miniute job...now i need a link to the rebuild kit...anyone???
I'm going to see if can make some kits, a lot of people are asking
What rebuild kit did you use
Did you ever get an answer
No I threw the pingel away and ordered a goalan way better has a detent so when your riding you can feel it lock into reserve much smoother operation and just as much or more flow . I run a 120 cubic inch bike and no fuel restrictions
Where do I order the kit please
I cannot find the kit that you used in this video. Can you please send me a link? I’m working on the peacock as we speak. Thanks
Were you able to find it? There are lots of them on ebay.
Got a no-name Pingel knock-off on my bike. Probably not rebuildable.
If you can take it apart you can rebuild it. You just have to reverse engineer it.
Nice tutorial man. Too bad a pingel petcock rebuild kit is so ridiculously overpriced. $100.00 for some o rings, screen, loctite and fricken toothpicks is crazy especially when you consider that the most inexpensive pingel petcock is $120.00 per their MSRP. Yea they are excellent petcocks but the rebuild kit is near the cost of just replacing the whole thing! Pingel will rebuild it for more than the original cost of your petcock so that also a crap option. Also, for what you pay for the rebuild kit no included instructions is more ridiculousness from Pingel it’s insulting!
Where do you get the rebuilde kit ?
Your local motorcycle shop should be able to order it for you or do a Google search. Good luck and ride safe.
they can't get it
and can't even find it on the web you don't have a part number on it
and where it can be ordered
Ebay has them they come in sets of 3
Buy a rebuild kit when you buy the petcock. Mine lasted 6 months with nonethanol fuel......junk!
Replace the o-rings with methanol compatible ones.
@@dosdeuno can you tell me size of the o-rings? I don't wanna buy the full kit, I need only those 3 rings...
At the price you have to pay it shouldn't ever ha e to be rebuilt wtf are they charging almost 300 bucks for one of these is just stupid 😮
Eventually, you will need to rebuild any moving component that is sealed with rubber. These are used for high fuel delivery demand applications, such as high performance engines.
Great job, thanks!!
Thank you
