Got my new petcock installed on the tank and it works great! Thanks for the heads-up about the cheap eBay models. I decided not to risk it and bought the exact same part they have when they come out the factory.
Honestly guys, I'm stumped. I tried to get it to turn over and for a second it ran.
Conditions:
Choke fully engaged
petcock in On position(tried res as well)
relatively fresh gas from early January
Carbs blessed by Ducatiman
Freshly charged battery
Bit of starter fluid
Results:
5 seconds of uninterrupted idle with white smoke coming from tailpipes(mostly from the right tailpipe). Died when I disengaged the choke.
Could it be an electrical issue? Spark issue?
Gas is definitely getting to the carbs now. When I pull the petcock valve off, I get a bit of gas dripping and it stops which is what I've read is a good sign.
