HELP!!! Can't get my bike to run

[ViD381]

Get this.

Okay for no reason at all I decided to blow on my fuel lines. They're still attatched to the fuel switch. Well, On and reserve hardly move any air.  It's inbetween the two of them when you get air flow, but one to the ON & RES lines. There doens't seem to be any air going to the out line, or the one that would connect to the carbs. When on Pri, the air will go to the out gas line, regardless of if I blow on the ON or RES line. That could be the problem right there. I'm going to take it appart when I come back home from class tonight.
I noticed that there is a gasket for the fuel switch. Looks like it's paper. Well, can this be reused, or will I have to use a gasket sealer?


Thanks,

Timothy

That sounds like just what you should expect from the vacuum-actuated ON and RES settings.  If you can blow air through on those settings with no resistance, then surely fuel could flow from the tank with no resistance as well.

The idea is to PREVENT fuel from flowing on the ON and RES settings when the engine is not running (and is therefore not sucking on the vacuum hose), and to ALLOW fuel to flow on the gravity-fed PRI setting even when the engine is not running.

Sounds right to me.
