    Ok, I got my Seca running.... sort of. There seems to be a lack of gas flow. The bike will run without cold-start on if I have the petcock on pri. Other than the obvious pull the carbs and clean 'em (again :roll: ) What are some other things to address. I am inclined to think there is a vacuum leak or something like that. Let me know what you peeps think I should also address.

    do you have the vacuum line hooked up to the tank aswell? Take the gas line off and turn the bike over see if the gas is flowing. IF its not try takin apart the petcock and see if you new to work on it.
