    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.

When the petcock is on the "on" position the bike runs out of gas and dies! when i put it on prim the bike returns to being it's good old self... i guess my bike is REALLY sucking down that gas now if it needs to run on prim! i really dont want to run on prim because if i run out of gas i am screwed big time! i have a high flow inline fuel filter btw but there isnt that much restriction at all from just being a regular gas line! is this normal to only be able to run on prim?
 
you must pull vaccum from the engine to open the fuel valve in the on/res position.
big hose/small hose.
big is fuel/small is vaccum.

Is the vaccum hose hooked up?
 
If you have a bit of a vacuum leak or have pinched/bent the vacuum hose the vacuum pressure (negative pressure) won't be enough to open the vacuum valve in your petcock. So the petrol won't flow. Apparently another similar issue (no petrol) can occur if the tank cap breather is blocked causing a vacuum in the tank.

A mate has a Ducati 900SS with a fuel pump. His cap blocked and the level of vacuum created was so great that the tank imploded :eek:. Amazing.

I worked at a 4WD wreckers and a 45series landcruiser came in for wrecking and the main tank was crushed like a beer can from the breather being blocked and the injector pump having enough preasure to suck it inward......:eek: yep it does happen!
