That said, before doing so, does gas flow through the fuel valve in both open positions? If it does, then the float bowl valve seats are likely crudded.
Not sure what you mean by flowing through the valve (which valve? Tank is off the bike))... I'm not getting a flow anywhere! I know there is gas in the carb inlet tube, and I removed that inline filter that is in the 'T' connector. But I cannot get any gas out of the carb drain plug - so it's stopped somewhere between the two and nothing I've done so far has been able to unblock it. Only thing I can think of between them is a needle valve stuck closed... and it is refusing to open up for some reason.
Actually, the gas was not all that bad - it was just starting to turn... so the fact that it blocked up so hard in such a short period of time really has me stumped.
Cheers,
Brad
