Ok, I just need to ask a few questions about this test first because I don't understand the prime and cap test.  After checking the hose that connects to the rear of the petcock for fuel and sucking on it to see if it is sending fuel, I need to do a prime and cap test (that is if the rear hose isn't sending fuel).  Disconnect the line that is connected (in the picture) and block the piping.  After I block the piping set the petcock to prime and see if it runs better.

Ok if it doesn't change I still have to run it for about two gas tank loads to make sure correct.  Please correct me if any information is incorrect.   Also, if fuel comes out of the line I disconnect that I am suppose to block, does that mean the petcock is bad also or is it normal.

 
No Justin, you fer sure certainly ain't a winning on this one.    



All 3 active moderators have told the boy to do the test.

He got a PM from me telling him all he needs to know about the why's behind the test.  
He's done with the explaining part .....


NOW HE NEEDS TO GET HIS HANDS DIRTY AND DO IT.
(jest suck on the silly tube, if you get any liquid gas, even a drop it's a fail)


Pending him posting back what happened, he's done.


Only other possible step would be to find out where he lives so we can try to send him some help him because if he can't do Serowbot's Test he isn't going to be able to do anything else either.

Now this here ditty is supposed to be a joke, son      I think ...      well, mebbe not


The Simplified Serowbot's Test


Step #1   Do you have a stock vacuum petcock?  If "yes" go to Step #2

Step #2   Replace with Yamaha Raptor petcock pt. no. 5LP-24500-01-00


Considering how many stock vac petcocks fail the existing test lately (like all of them) vs the like zero that pass it, perhaps the shortened test format can be substituted for those mechanically challenged people amongst us.  

This would certainly save time and aggravation all the way around it would.

I followed the instructions for test and tested the vacuum line on the rear end of the petcock.  It didn't like any fuel nor did it show signs of leaking fuel.  No deposits or anything.

So block off the line that I checked for fuel and set the petcock to prime and see if it runs better?  I will start this tomorrow.

Do you think this would help with it not wanting to start when its hot?

So what do you recommend I cap the line and the carb with?

You have read the test right?   What does it tell you to use?



I'm beginning to wonder if  you have even read the test .....  much less even tried to do it.


(I'm done here .... he's obviously just here for some idle conversation)

Good luck there, just do what the pictures and the text say to do --- and please, have yourself a nice day.
