Apply vacuum to he petcock with either a mity-vac or just a piece of hose and some suction for a few seconds and let the carbs fill before you try to start the bike.....with dry carbs it will take a while just cranking it for the carbs to fill :thumbup:

Make sure pipes go to correct connection on tank, easy to mix them up
