        Do you have VM carbs or CV. The VM carbs petcock vacuum line hooks up to #3.

                Oh, boy, another one in Dayton.

                Toss me a PM or an e-mail (addresses in my profile) and I can put you on my list of things to do. We can get that bike running.

                Oh, by the way, just what bike is it? Presumably a GS, but what year, what size, what model?

                    Drop Steve or I a PM. Im just around the corner from you, and Steve is 15 minutes from us. I recall you having a early 80s 550 correct? CV type carbs and Steve is great with those. I'd be happy to give a hand in whatever as well, but i will defer to him for the carbs, as he is pretty much a master.

                        Ohhh then you have VM carbs perhaps Those I DO know. But still, Steve is captain Detail as well...lol. I think either of us, or BOTH of us would be happy to help. Next weekend would be no good for me, however, as i will be out of town. If ya can get a hold of me Tues, im off work. Or when i get back, any time then (ill be back Monday) id be happy to help as well.

                            No need for the beer, as i rarely drink anymore, and Steve has never touched the stuff. But some cold sodas would be great!
