Re: Praying for another easy fix....

The thing is.....in "run" it needs engine vacuum to open the petcock and let fuel flow to the carb. In "prime" it doesn't need vacuum. So.... if it runs in prime but not run, this means that the problem is that it's not getting vacuum, which suggests that there's a problem with the vacuum pipe which runs from the petcock to the carb.
