    GS650GL starting riddle

    Thanks for the input guys! Im going to replace the vacuum line. I took a look at it and looks like it might have a kink in it or collapsed. I will also check the petcock. Now that I am thinking about it, it was a cheaper aftermarket one and its been on the bike about 5 years.
