    Final Steps in getting her running

    Ok, so I got the bike, sent the carbs out to get re-done, got new pods and a new petcock. Put the petcock in today, sat the gas tank on top of the bike and hooked up the fuel line to the feed on the carbs (center nipple) but gas started spilling out of the side nipples. I was told I could leave these open. Is something wrong? Sorry for the newbish questions

    Is the petcock on prime? What kind of bike do you have? I confused about which nipples your talking about. Any pictures?

      Hi,

      Do you have all your hoses hooked up properly? Do you have a properly functioning vacuum petcock set to the proper position?

      See Where Do These Hoses Go?


      Thank you for your indulgence,

        You have to rejet the carbs when running pods too.

            Ha! I was updating that page yesterday and when I "published" the page my ISP told me that I had exceeded my storage quota. The page didn't save and I lost the whole thing. I had to recreate the page from scratch when I got home from work. It's there now for your perusal. I hope I didn't cause you any inconvenience.
