    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I own a 84 1150ES with the Keihins 33's and was wondering since the stock carbs had a vacuum hose for the petcock, how do hook it to the 33 smoothbores? Or do you not use the vacuum operation and just go manual? :?

You could also turn it to prime & turn it back to the on position for off

That's what I was thinking, just wanted to know if anyone else had the same idea ....I guess the reserve will still be the same too..... ?

Thanks... 8)
 
I think reserve requires vacuum just like the on position? Other than that, the idea sounds good...
 
Using it on prime if you run out of gas YOU ARE OUT no reserve
 
You could run a vacuum hose from one of the intake boots. Connect a tap used for synchronizing the carbs to the #2 or #3 intake boot and run a hose from that to the petcock. Makes sure the connections are tight and the host does not touch anything hot.

Vacuum is vacuum and that should hold the petcock open.
