There are no vacuum lines. it gets sucked through fuel hose. Not sure when they went to that system, but that is what it looks like to me. Though not sure what 2nd port is for either.
Was always funny before vacuum *****, guys would turn their gas **** off, and forget to turn it back on.
What I think needs to be done, is either shove something in petcock to open it open, use a vac pump. But I am speaking from my bowels right now. But you will not be able to test fuel pump vacuum **** is open.
Zero, look at the pics i just took.you can see just two lines, they both go to the same location on the TB.
Not sure if that was someway to suck all the way off bottom or what. My FI bike is 07, and only port.
Googling they make a guage that plugs between bike and the valve to measure pressure. But for this I think there has to be a crude way just to see if it is pumping something. But you need to suck or force it open I would think. I would think someone has done this before. I can't remember if I did it when I was having issues or not.
I was stalling at 1/2 tank or so. Blowing on lines I could not find a leak. Just replaced everything. I have no problem, other than $, replacing stuff before it fails. Some people like to be towed home though. But I may just replace the pump every 50k miles.
Update, it's running now! Thanks to everybody for the help!
was a bit rough at first, but smoothed out. I think that was from the old fuel starting to clear the lines. Either way, its running now. I'm very pleased. Thanks again guys!
