It's pretty obvious fuel isn't flowing when it should since putting it in reserve gets it running again.
putting it in "prime" gets it running again. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

yes,
If i put it in Prime it runs again. Also keep in mind when i rode it the Temp was 20 degrees. I am going to blow off work tommorrow and go riding. It is expected to be around 45.(HEAT WAVE IN THE NE)So i will post my findings in a couple days.


Thanks
Rafiki

Well just wanted to post a follow-up. I took it out yesterday and it ran awesome! I didn't have to put in prime at all. I guess it was just because it was so cold. But i had a great time. Got mud everywhere!!!

Good to hear it's working again.. but I'd still worry that something is fubar with your petcock and it's vacuum... maybe some water in there that froze it up and didn't allow it to function? Who knows..

I know when I put the 42mm carb on my Z, I just did a quick mode to make it have on, off and reserve because the new carb wasn't vacuum operated. That's always an option for you as well. It's the same mod the guys that put FCR carbs on their Z use... I'd post the URL of the site to search, but it will get blocked.. so I'll try this... zee four hundred central dot com.
