First I'd look at the vacuum line running off the petcock to make sure it doesn't have any cracks. That could starve you for fuel at WOT.

Second, I'd look inside the tank and see if you have any tank liner that's flaked off. It could be blocking the screen of the petcock.

If you remove the petcock I would advise having a diaphragm and screen kit on hand. Once one of the old vacuum petcocks it disturbed they leak a lot of the time.

Saved me the trouble. I was going to recommend the same two checks. I'm betting on a pinched vacuum line or tank not venting. Debris in the peacock or floating in your bowl is the next thing.

Yep I agree. The rubber diaphragm in the pet **** could have crack in it as well.

Clean positive and negative terminals on battery. Had a bike that above 60 terminals were not making proper contact and bike would fall on its face

I have a gravity pingel pet **** no vacum line.

And i will check the liner and float bowls next. I feel it might be a manifold leak. I lost a beeather bolt that holds my valoscity stack and the other one backed off. Maybe the carb rattled to much once loose and tore the gaskets.
