    Hey,
    I got a question. I pulled the carb cleaned and rejetted it.
    While it was off I pulled the tank to run some electrics up front from the batt.
    Put it all back together, now I've got no fuel to the carb. Because there's a vac line to the petcock do I need to prime it? If so, how?

    Thanks Jack

    you will need to add vacuum to that fitting. it is a saftey devise to shut the fuel off to the carb. incase the rider forgets. a small hand vacuum pump from harbor freight will do the job just fine......
