If you took the fuel cap off you bypassed the tip over valve (it's in the vent line) so it's off to look at other options. After checking Pat's electrical pointers it wouldn't hurt to drain the float bowls into a small container where you could have a look-see for water or other alien material; that way you could also rule out a clogged petcock filter. And, you might as well have a look at the bowl vent line (runs from between the carbs to under the frame) and make certain it isn't clogged or the new home to some nesting insect.


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
