klr fuel delivery

[RobertWichert]

I would like to try that test just to see how loud the whistle gets! Oh wait, it whistles out, not in. Oh well... Nice test fellas!  Remember, one test is worth one thousand opinions.

  Listers, Today RevMaaatin stopped by with his well maintained KLR (GEN I) with around 60,000 miles on it. We did a fuel delivery test on it since he has a stock petcock with the vacuum shutoff still intact. The tank had been filled about 75 miles earlier. We connected a Mity-Vac to the vacuum port on the petcock and a three foot length of 7mm ID fuel line. We had two 1/2 gallon containers and filled the first one in 90 seconds and then just moved the fuel line to the other container without stopping the fuel flow. The second was full for a total of one gallon in 2 minutes and 58 seconds. Let's call it three gallons a minute. We could hear the fuel cap vent working (quite a sucking sound) after about 15 seconds and the fuel cap was closed for the entire test. So if you do a fuel delivery test maybe figure on one gallon of fuel every four minutes or less. This is the first time I've ever timed/measured fuel delivery on a KLR so this is only a sample of one.
