just fitted the petrol tap on the blade, put petrol in & turned the tap to on (the tank was not on the bike) & none came out on res either?

does it have to be on the bike somthing to do with a fuel pump?

as i was expecting petrol to come out

If you want to test it off the bike then yes. but since the problem wa the tap then I would refit it.
