Re: Carb vacuum
Could it be a duff petcock even if new ?
Also check for any fuel in the engine oil.

Re: Carb vacuum
Petcock.....maybe? It's just occurred that if I apply a vacuum, I can check the outlet.
I did have fuel in the oil before, but since buying the carb bits & getting the float heights set, that's been fine. Worth a check though. |

Re: Carb vacuum
I've just remembered. I used a Petcock same as yours but I hacksawed off the bulbous end of that fat pipe so I could slide the fuel pipe I was using on and then secured it with a screw-tight fuel pipe clip.

Re: Carb vacuum
Neoprene fuel pipe isn't expensive. I renewed all mine in ,"Lockdown". I bought some 6mm ID pipe and some 8mm ID pipe so I could mix and match where needed.
I prefer the non-reinforced type, Soft Rubber fuel pipe eBay Hose clips choose to suit
