The only problem with this is that if I don't crank my Chopper within a week of the last ride, the system looses vacuum....
It should loose prime instantly, shouldn't it.Worked great except when the bike sat for a few days it would loose it's prime ....
The engine should start with the gas that is already in the carb.This new fuel valve shuts off the flow of fuel to the carburetor automatically whenever the engine shuts off....
I guess I'm not understanding what's going on. The petcock should loose vacuum everytime the engine is shut off, there's no check valve installed. If it held vacuum for almost a week the petcock would be open all the time. I don't see any reason it would hold a vacuum for days, or not pull a vacuum as soon as you cranked the engine over.
There should already be fuel in the bowls for the squirters to spray into the motor, or does it evaporate that quick? Maybe that's what's happening, no fuel for the squirters.
