  • No gas from the petcock

    Tank is more than 3/4 full (yes I have gas)
    I've tried all 3 settings run, pri and res with and without tubes on and no gas comes out.
    I've left the vac hose on and taken one carb feed line off and cranked the engine but get no gas flow on pri, res, and run.
    The tank was delivering gas when cranking/running before I disconnected it to clean the carbs.

            Petcock is located on the far left edge of the tank. When you remove the tank, simply tilt the tank to the right, raising the petock. If you prop the tank up this way, you will be able to remove the petock without spilling any gas at all, or needing to dump the tank.

            I would suggest considering a rebuild kit when you inspect the petcock, if it's not in excellent internal condition.
