Default No Fuel

WTF I have no fuel coming out of my fuel tank through the fuel pet ****, I got a 95 FXD. I disconected the fuel line from the carb and can blow air through the pet **** to the fuel tank. But no&nbsp\\;fuel will flow out of the tank through the pet **** to the carb.&nbsp\\;Any ideas???? Thanks &nbsp\\;

If it's stock it is vacuum operated....turn the engine over a few times and see if fule will flow....but get ready with a container of some sort. If it still won't flow you havea vacuum leak or the diaphram is bad in the petcock itself.
