Yes, but without lots of previous experience, how would you know
how much vacuum is necessary? I had similar problem where bike would run for 30-seconds and completely fall flat on its face when I got to track and opened it up. Turned out I had looped petcock hose just right so that when I laid tank down, it would pinch and kink hose. Just barely enough vacuum go through to barely open petcock enough for idle & low-load flow. As soon as I gave it more throttle, gas-flow wasn't enough and bike almost threw me over bars!
