There is a long-running debate, about the merits of Removing the Fuel Petcock on the GL1500. What is your experience?
Pro's:
-Bypassing a part that commonly fails, in the fuel delivery circuit.
-Avoiding a costly or difficult item to replace.
Con's:
-Siphoning of gas Out of engine, leading to float bowls being dry (eg Takes more cranks to start engine)
-Possible siphoning of gas In to engine, leading to engine failure upon startup (eg Hydrolock)
