Just a stab in the dark here, but there's a little vent hole in the
top of each of your carbs to allow air to escape, and therefore allow
fuel to flow into your bowls. If the vent hole is blocked, it may cause
the problems you are experiencing. Let us know if this is it.

There is gas in the lower lines (below the "T" from the left/right fuel lines), so the bowls are probably full. The upper halves of the fuel lines were dry (above the T going to each petcock) and that is where the fuel refused to flow into when opening the petcocks, wasn't until after I loosened the hose clamp that air escaped and the fuel flooded in and backed up out of the hose by the clamp. I just wonder with the clamp tightened up again if air will not go back up into the tank and she will run dry again. Keith Ruff |
