    Your carbs will clog with debree from the tank or the out of the pump. If they don't flood out from debree stuck in the needle and seat, the jets will eventually clog and run lean enough to do damage.
    Needle clogged shortly after i started the bike for the first time cause of this an inline gravity filter has prevented recurrance.

      Usually a second filter causes problems.

      I've found with mine Its use one filter in the tank or one outside but not both.

      Its a pain when the needles clog up.

        I've got an old petcock in the garage you can have the tube off of. The valve portion is bent and leaking, but the filter and tube are fine. Shoot a PM if you want it.

          Running fine for me so far both petcock and the gravity filter are New tho . But TBH thats only a temp solution. I need to clean and coat my tank thats the real solution.
