Title: GS is almost running! question..
Post by: SWEET-TL1000R on June 09, 2005, 06:02:10 AM
Hey all,

Well, I got gas in the tank and in the fuel line, can't seem to get gas in the carbs...  I believe all the vacuum lines are connected etc.

Any ideas to what it could be?

And do not forget to make sure the valve on the tank is turned to on -

And, tap the floatbowls with the butt of a screwdriver to loosen up the float needle; if you do all of the above and still do not get any gas to come out of the floatbowl drain.

Thanks guys, I'll try that when I get home. :thumb:

Any other suggestions by chance!?  I'm not gonna have a lot of time to work on her tonight, but would love to get her started for the first time :)
