o okay i have evidently only had gravity fed ones before, ive never had a petcock with 2 lines comin from it, the last 5 bikes ive had. so if i pull off the line when its back on and connected it should pour gas out then? is there anything wrong w leaving it on prime and blocking off that vaccuum line? why are all petcocks not gravity fed???

Just put a length of hose on the (smaller) vacuum nipple on the petcock.....and direct your fuel line from the petcock into a suitable cannister. Put the petcock on "ON"....and suck on the vacuum hose....fuel will flow, if the petcock is operating correctly.Frosty (falsely accused of "Thread-Hijacking"!)

Found out the petcock is fine and the gass leaking out is only what is in the fuelline.
Cleaned the float needles and ajusted the floats up just a hair, not the darn blated thing idles all wacky. I think it's ideling at 3000 RPM, when it's hot. But it'll creap down most of the time. not sitting at a light long enough to see where it stops, but it sounds good all the way though, no popping etc..
I guess I'll ajust the floats back, but I have no clue what could be causing that.
