Title: fuel in #1 cylinder
Post by: weber1 on June 13, 2012, 01:26:35 PM
has anybody had the #1 cylinder get fuel charged after a sit for a couple of days and then bike go into a hard crank do to hydrolock? If so what was your fix because I can't see any obvious reason for it? Thanks, Rob.

Vacuum petcock doesn't shut off fuel and you have stuck float. Mine filled my crank with fuel. So I put a manual petcock. And cleaned carbs. Be sure and check oil level and see if you've got gas in crank.
