OK
It at least appears that I can get her home. One of the two tricks did the job. I opened the vents/drain tubes. This could have unstuck the float/trash. I then gave her a shot of 13psi. Either way no leak at the moment.
Please forgive me here as it feels like some of you are spoon feeding me. The fuel line is a black line with a blue liner inside of it. Anyone have any experience with this type of fuel hose? I am curious if the blue lining isnt flaking off. I have had problems with this bike, but NEVER carb problems. I know that Steve went through them. So, two things; 1. Whatever sealant Jimmy used to coat the tank is coming off, or the fuel line is deteriorating. What says the collective?
