Hello all,
Yesterday I had finished putting my carb back in, and as well a new battery. I connected the gas tank and added fuel. I tried to start the bike and didnt realize I had only filled the reserve tank. I flipped the petcock to reserve but had killed half the battery at that point. I managed to get the bike to start for a minute or two as long as I was giving throttle but then it died and I noticed gas pouring from the carbs.
So.... I have not put the elbows and filters on the carbs yet as I want to make sure it starts first. Could this be effecting the carbs ability to suck the gas into the engine? Thats what im thinking but no clue if im on the right track.
Thanks in advance,
Blake
