I could get the bike started with the primer setting on the petcock but once I got it going and switched it to the normal vacuum setting, it would eventually die. Didn't want to rev or come off the choke because it accelerated the fuel usage and killed it faster...

Runs great now that the vacuum hose is connected

Oh, yeah. I think I plugged that vacuum line on my ol bikes and just had normal petcocks.

I put it up for sale. $2k seems reasonable. Had 1 girl come look at it today but she's short and a new rider so she wasn't comfortable with the seat height. She probably needs a Honda Rebel or Yamaha Bolt or something. Another guy texted me but won't do more than $1500. I think $1800 is my minimum. I don't need to get rid of it, just don't ride it much so might as well sell it

The best part of riding season is just getting started - no use in taking low offers for now

Sold for $1700. Guy knows his bikes so I trust he'll take good care of it and be able to maintain it.

Mods, lock the thread! :lol:

Probably not. I find cars more fun & practical.
