    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

will there be enough vaccum to suck up the fuel or does it have to be gravity fed?
 
Position the gas can below the fuel tank and gravity will feed the fuel downward to the can. Don't forget to turn the petcock to Prime.
 
Are you trying to drain the tank or get gas to the carbs?

If you're trying to feed gas to the carbs, it is a gravity feed.

For carb syncs, I have a small plastic tank sold as a universal replacement coolant catch tank for cars. It has several fittings, and you snip the end off one at the bottom to attach a fuel hose. A little deft work with a coat hanger and pliers, and I made a spiffy custom hanger to hang it from the left grip.
 
its easy to make 1 id like to know why they want $45 for 1
Because enough people will pay $45 for one. I used about $3 in hose fittings from Lowes, some old fuel line I had laying around, and a gas can. Some Saran Wrap and duct tape to seal the connections, and I was set to go.
 
No.

No.

No. No suction. Lift the can up to above the carbs.
