Hey guys, just picked up a new petcock from mikes xs and was wondering if it is better to split from the source or come out with one hose and split after. Friend of mine has history of trouble with his Hondas when the split is right out of the PC, as apparently they have a problem with equal feeds to the carbs.
 
What bike/carbs setup are you running? I've only ever messed with a single line to a fuel rail joining the two carbs.
 
The unequal hose length= unequal feed thing is a myth, it comes up when somebody puts a clear fuel on and they see an air bubble in one of the hoses. Gas is heavy enough to run downhill, assuming the tank vent is open and no foreign matter clogging the works, it will always run into whichever carb has the float valve open.
