I did a little research today while working on my bike. The OP'r, that is not the check valve in your picture you are pointing at. That is only a reducer for the vent line. The actual check valve / ROV is down behind the oil tank and swingarm. Yeah, I taste fuel now, that is how I did the research. Time for a beer chaser.

I know! I did the same thing! Thanks for the research though!! And thank everyone else who posted for the info I was able to check everything that was mentioned and all the tank lines were venting properly! The carb issues wasn't due to starvation. it was to much fuel dropped down all the jets and accelerator pump nozzle and works great now! 👍
