I have a tap from an 850G that appears - and I say Appears - to be functional. It would fit, except the hoses face forward - the 850 is a long bike - instead of back, so the outlet almost hits the cylinder head. However, if you pulled the tank back a bit and propped it up an inch or two it would clear and work.

You're most welcome to borrow it for however long you want, as I'm not in need of it.

If my hillbilly attempts at feeding the bike are unsuccessful I will definitely take you up on your offer. Thanks!

So I have a good new, bad news result. The good news is that plugging up the petcock vacuum hose and squirting guzzolene into the fuel hose until it would not take anymore (I am assuming this filled up the carb's fuel bowls) let me start the engine and it ran as long as I had the throttle twisted just a tiny bit.

The bad news is that there is a whine coming from the engine and some 'not exhaust' white smoke coming from the right pipe. I don't know if they are related but the only way I can describe the whine is like gears moving too fast.

I am going to start a new thread about the whine after I clean out the carbs.

Thanks for all the help on the electrical issue!
