Yes I did. Did you answer the question or ask another?
Hmm...no fuel going to the carbs yet the fuel will flow to the carbs.
So....if you have a properly working fuel shutoff this will still happen?the fuel may already be in the carbs, vi poorly sealing float valves, to a point of "almost' a hydro event, when the bike is turned off, with a fully functioning petcock.. when the vacuum stops, the petcock (fully functioning) shuts off.. but... in the event of one, two, three, or all four float needles failing to sel prior, the levels have already exceed the capacity for the area of the carb bowls, but... once stopped, all that fuel is STILL THERE, way over the point it should have been shut off by the floats. You don't get it.. that's fine, I've done more carbs than I care to comment on, and been paid for them.. you stand there, and pose at me, and toss out conjecture, based on your lack of actual knowledg in maintaining, and repairing issues.. then follow it up with disparaging remarks about the "design" of a carb, that is ancient, and actually when never let set, and /or maintained, really is quite reliable.. go back to the Arena, I know, it's now very bleak, and you really can't "attack" anyone there" anymore.. because.. well just because..
Splain how fuel will still flow to the carbs. Btw, the fuel in bowls 2-3will not go to cylinder 1 because it would need to go uphill to get out of the bowls.
Now Splain how gas on the garage floor is a good thing. All it takes to blow up a boat is a teaspoon of gas.
Face it, the Honda carbs kaw used are crap. Over the years they could have used better carbs AND petcock. Known trouble spots.
VirginiaJim nailed it months ago. FUEL INJECTION solves the problem.
Steve charges $450 to rework the carbs and install the overflow tubes. $450 goes a long ways toward EFI. Just saying.That's a great service at a really good price IF your carbs need rebuilding and that includes new jets..balanced and 2 Minute mod and more. Basically better than brand new
Not that it matters now that the discussion has ended.... Not a good idea
My Honda Magna came with a solenoid valve in fuel line. Any time the switch was off, so was the fuel. The original owner said it was to keep it from dripping on the garage floor. It was easier to install this tha..

It looked like this.
