Bike won't start
Written by pgrwhistler on 4/1/2012 at 12:22 am

disconnect the fuel line at the petcock and crank it and see if you get gas
going into the petcock; also make sure the vacuum line at the petcock is
connected and you have vacuum there..if ok disconnect the fuel line at the carb
or petcock outlet and see if you get fuel there..
