So today I noticed something that I probably should have noticed a long time ago. Correct me if I am mistaken but my fuel petcock should only operate on a vacuum system? My petcock when in the ON position is leaking fuel when I remove the supply hose. I'm sure I read somewhere that the new gen shouldn't release any fuel with the bike off and in the ON position. Could this be the source of my issues? Engine flooding perhaps? Appreciate the insight I've gotten thus far. Determined to get back on the road. Will return with further notes.
