Yeah I don't have a "prime" position on my petcock (2007) =( That's why I have to suck on the vacuum hose every time I drain my carbs =) Still doesn't seem to fill the bowls, but gets them started at least. =) Either that, or it DOES fill them up and I flood the motor... maybe that's why I have to crank forever when I drain my carbs and apply suction to the petcock to fill the bowls back up. I don't feel like it moves that much gas though... IDK. Guess I'll play with it next time.
