Re: Proper Use of Prime

Just a followup on my restarting of my bike.

So yesterday evening the weather was beautiful, no need to wait for the weekend. I had fully charged the battery the day before, checked the tire pressure and cleaned off the dust.

Just to make sure there was no funny stuff in the carb bowl or the tank, I opened the drain on the carb and set the petcock to prime for a few seconds. This let out a few ounces of fuel, and I figure it would flush out anything that settled to the bottom, if there was anything. I then closed the drain screw, set it to prime for a few seconds, then set the petcock to run. Started right up, and I went for ride!
