2006 VTX1300R no fuel spraying changed rotted vacuum lines inspected the petcock, and the filter in the tank and the carb. No fuel coming out of the float bowl when trying to drain it. What would be next step? The bike did set almost a year, due to injury. Thank you in advance.
I am getting plenty of fuel out of the petcock when cranking also cleaned float bowl needles and jets. But didn’t find a way of cleaning the one that supposed to spray
Inspected the filter it’s clean. Will take and bowl back off and recheck and clean all again. Thanks for the info. Will be back with results hopefully all good.

its a simple system.... used by Honda for 60 plus years....
.
fuel tank with vent..
petcock,,,, vacuum controlled since the 1980's...
filter
float/needle..
Reconnect the fuel line to the petcock and remove the other end of it from the carb and crank again and see if fuel comes out if so then get back to us, if not remove the gas cap from the tank and try cranking again. let us know what happens.
Ok got fuel from petcock to carb. Checked float needle is free cleaned all again, have fuel coming out of bowl drain. Tried starting and battery went dead. I did test tank vent? In the back underneath tank blew air into with a piece of vacuum line. Charging battery now so will see what happens in a bit. Will report back in a few hrs or so.
8 oz. of SeaFoam Gas Treatment to a full tank of fresh gas for at least two consecutive tankfuls. Importantly, gap your four plugs to 0.031" (0.8 mm) for reliable ignitions (this is the lower end of the Honda spec for our bikes). Good luck! :cheers:
^^^^ Yep, good stuff, cleans jets and passages, renews old gas, entrains any water in the fuel (even the water in the Ethanol) so it passes through the engine without damage, but don't be surprised if your engine runs a little ruff while all the SH....................Uh..............stuff gets run out of the system and leaves everything sparkling clean. Notice: I am not a paid spokesman for the product, just a satisfied customer!!!!!!!:bleh:
Update she’s purring like a kitten now. Sea foam smoothed it out. Guess I may have been chasing a small speck of crap, last cleaning must of got out. Thanks everyone in the cafe for the help and info.
