petrol tap - SV650.org

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

Is it a vacum tap ie has a big hose and a small one if so suck on the small one and petrol should flow

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