It should be okay to ride like it is. As a sanity check you might want to verify whether or not the fuel flow stops when the vacuum source is removed. If not, there will be fuel pressure on the float needles all the time (even when parked), and leakage will result in carb overflow and (likely) fuel getting into the crankcase and diluting the oil. Also, I'd verify there is no fuel entering the vacuum line and back-flowing into the carbs that way. A clear vacuum line will tell the tail here.Originally posted by gsvol View PostEd

Turn it 90 degrees - if you still feel vacuum, you have a non-metered leak. Otherwise it's fine.-1980 GS1100 LT

As stated earlier, you've effectively set your petcock to prime with the bubble gum. If the prime check valve is still working, you'll flood your crankcase with gas.-1980 GS1100 LT

If it was after you turned the motor over, then prime doesn't work. It doesn't on mine either.-1980 GS1100 LT
