Hey everyone, after having the kat apart for quite a while I'm getting everything put back together and came across an interesting issue that I hope I'm just being an idiot about. Replaced my fuel petcock and put 2 gallons of gas in the tank. When syncing my carbs, I noticed that I'm only getting fuel flow out of Prime and Reserve petcock positions, but not the ON. If memory serves, reserve hits when there's about 1 gal left in the tank. Is there any other reason, apart from simply needing to add more gas, why I wouldn't get fuel out of the ON position?
Also, I noticed that when using the fuel provided to me in Reserve, it was too much and 1 carb overflowed. Float height is spot on 13 mm per the manual, new carb seals, A/F screws at 3 turns bc of DynoJet jet kit. At first I suspected it was because of the fuel filter I bought (a largely oversized Wix filter), so when testing with my previous filter it seemed to be okay, although I never went full reserve, maybe the 7-8 o'clock position on the valve. Any thoughts on why the carbs would flood on Reserve?
Like I said, it's been a while since it's been running and I've been working on the bike so dusting off mental cobwebs of what to do.
