once you get it back together - suck on the vac line that goes to the petc0ck - get any gas? - ( I'm sure there's safer ways to pull a vac on this line - but that's the easy way)

An old medical syringe is a safer way to check this and has other uses, like adding distilled water to the battery. Max

Here's one in a handy 35cc size:
Ask your local horse Doctor to save you a couple, or offer to pay for them. Be sure and explain what you want them for, so they don't think you have a really huge dope addiction!!!

I have a couple of ink cartridge syringes, I think that might work too.
So if I do this, I'm NOT supposed to get any gas right?
I'm still in the dark as to what all the parts of a carburetor are for. I've seen it inside out now, but what each part exactly does is beyond me. Do you know of a book or a site that explains step for step what each part actually does?
Would be interesting to find out.

ok ok, you can buy one those big 35cc ones at the drug store for about a $1 - work well to bleed the brakes too
but where's the fun in that - she'll miss spitting out gas and learning new words
no - should not be any gas ever come down the vac line from the petc0ck

I wasn't ever gonna do it by mouth!!
I get extremely nauseous and clammy when I even smell gas, no way I would siphon it by mouth. I think I'd go into convulsions!! I wear one of those masks that filters chemicals when I work with gas or oil paints etc. I really hate feeling sick.

That's funny!
I'd much rather feel hungry than sick!

No, not a drop or even a scent of gas. I did hear the spring in the petcork scrunch (the one underneath the white cone shaped twisty thing) when I pulled the air out with the syringe. So I guess so far petcork and vacuum seem okay.

Did you get gas flowing out of the petcork to the carb when you pulled the vacuum? or couldn't tell because it was already completely hooked up?
That's the "proof of the pudding".

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Next test !!!! I should have seem this one before, sorry.....
With a good seal on the syringe & vacuum line (gook it and let dry if you have to), try to see if the setup will hold vacuum. In theory, it should hold for a good long time as long as you can keep the syringe pulled out and not moving and have a good syringe to hose to petc0ck seal to begin with.
If your petc0ck diaphram is leaking by (got a hole/crack in it), you will lose the vacuum fairly quickly.

Yep, that would have been handy to know before I put the hose back on!
As soon as I feel like taking it of again I'll try that!
Actually, when I took the petcork apart I looked at the diaphragm, an it looked in good shape.

I had put it back together already.
But I can always empty the floatbowl by draining it (loosen the drain screw), and try again while leaving the screw off. If gas pours out I guess it works.
