Well Bill, being new to the bike game when I read that the petcock was rated at 90 ounces/minute compared to the stock one which rated at 30 ounces per minute I assumed that this meant a greater gas flow than normal which in my mind would mean faster gas usage which would mean lower gas mileage.
Obviously I'm wrong, what's wrong with my logic?
It flows *up to* 90 oz/min. Which means that your engine won't go lean and fry the valves when you are riding flatout up M5 in the UK or climbing Pikes Peak in the US. As long as the carb float valves are the main limiting factor in the fuel delivery system, you are not likely to have any problems and it won't make your fuel consumption any worse unless you ride faster because your engine is running better at speed and you can.
