How long did that thing sit? If the P.O. let it sit and the gas in the bowl evaporated and he did that a few times,the carb might be gunked up. I'd also check fuel flow. Pull the hose off the carb,point it in a gas can and switch to prime.I'd drain the bowl in a clean,clear glass and see how much and how clean it is.
I.m.o. IF it's running good,Good being the operative word,closing the gas off should not kill it. But,ride it,let it shut down,turn the petcock off of prime,immediately,and drain the bowl to see how much is in it. You know when it's gonna do it,so be ready.Don't let it fill up the bowl on ya.
Hey,guys,can a sticky slide do this? You might as well put a petcock on it. Maybe won't solve all of it,but they DO fail and they DO cause weird problems AND you got gas outta the vacuum line,so,that's enough to condemn it. I would just go buy one at the Yamaha shop. Save the hassle of trying to be sure you're actually BUYing a real Yamaha part. It's faster,too.
