Yes, I will eliminate the filter. I pulled the tank off, and the petcock is dripping about 3 drips per second, while set at 12 o'clock. I had a hose on the vac line and when I put a slight vacuum on it, it flowed pretty good, but sometimes pretty slowly. If I set it to "prime", it flows bigtime. I pulled one of the float bowl plugs, and the bowl was full. Not sure what is going on here.

So, let's see:
You have fuel in the float bowls, but none in the cylinders?
Did you follow the carb cleaning tutorial?

I followed the cleaning procedure on Bikeclffs to the letter. And the petcock is brand new. But I just discovered two of the spark plug wires were on the wrong plugs. I'll install a new fuel line tomorrow, and try it again.Last edited by Guest; 04-23-2020, 01:40 AM.Comment

Please clarify
With the petcock in “PR” spot, fuel should flow nicely...in other positions, there should be no flow, unless you apply vacuum. No drips, no runs, etc.1981 gs650L
