- turn off, leaving petcock on, let sit for 5-minutes. This should re-fill bowls to proper float-level
- aim bike down empty road, start it up and immediately redline 1st & 2nd gear!
They just plowed the road to my parking lot, so I figured I'd give this a shot! There was no noticeable difference in power after letting it sit. Engine still bogged at like 6k and past 3rd gear. Is there any way the leaking vacuum line could've messed up the carb tuning? is that a thing that happens?

Either way it was very fun. Silver linings..
