Suck on the vacuum line leading to your petcock for a minute or two to fill your bowls. I run into this every time I remove my carbs.

I wanted to really bad but, I was getting a vacuum leak froom the carb end so I clamped it off so it wouldn't leak vacuum.
So much for that...Ok, I'll try it.
What about those positions on the petcock? Is PRI like this..."\" or am I dreaming?Comment

If you clamped off you vacuum line from carb to petcock you'll never get gas into your carbs. It is a vacuum activated valve. Do you have an 80 petcock? If you do up down is prime and back and forth is run.Last edited by Guest; 08-08-2006, 10:47 PM.Comment

You don't have a prime (if it's a standard '80's petcock).....you have to suck on the end of the vacuum hose which leads to the petcock. Once gas start flowing, you can (while maintaining suction) bend the tube and put a clothespin/clamp on it, then let go.....the vacuum will remain and the gas will continue to flow.Originally posted by OklahomaPomadeFrosty (falsely accused of "Thread-Hijacking"!)

I got the bowls to fill and 1st try on the starter...VROOM. It idled at 5500 RPM for about 2 minutes then settled to around 3000.
I let it run like that for several minutes. **** it off for 5, came back and it started right up.
Problem now is, the screws on the bottom of my #1 and #2 bowls are leaking.Comment

It's an approximation of the French "n'est-ce pas?" That translates to "isn't it?" and is pronounced something like NESS PAH. Hope this helps.Originally posted by Steve
