Petc0ck failure at 2,509 miles (Read 7 times)

babbalou Serious Thumper Offline Posts: 814 Lewisville, Texas Gender:	Petc0ck failure at 2,509 miles 04/22/06 at 21:49:21 Well, my petcaulk doesn't work in the down position. Runs for about 20 seconds & dies. Runs in PRI. I didn't think to try reserve. Happened during a test ride right after rebuilding my carb which made it fun to troubleshoot. ??? Anyway, I'll drain the tank & pull it off when the engine cools & hopefully fix it tomorrow.

If the vacuum line comes off, the bike will run in PRI position, because it's basically just feeding the carb with gravity (no vacuum required)

Funny, but I've had that carb off several times & always hooked it up right. This time I wasn't paying attention. Next time I'll disengage "dingbat mode" before I work on the bike.

Dingbat mode?

Disconnect the fuelhose from the petc0ck and the vacuumhose from the carburator, always works.
