Long story short, I learned how to ride in 2007 (late bloomer, busy playing with cars).
Once I had my license, I learned of an Ascot sitting under a shed at a friends barn. Title in hand, a mutual friend parked it there 5-6 years prior and stopped riding. The farmer said anyone could have it.
We rebuilt the carbs, put on fresh rubber, changed the fluid, battery etc... it fired right up. I rode it for a number of years until the gas tank started to leak in 2012. I parked it, and finally returned to the project this spring.
The fuel system was missing, so I cobbled something up back in 2008 and in the process of fixing the tank, lost those parts. I ordered a replacement petcock and realized I'm missing a special hose since the nipple on the petcock is a lot smaller than the feed line to the carbs.
I knew what I did was a bad idea, but I wanted to get things fired up to make sure it would still work. I simply put the larger hose over the smaller nipple and torqued it down.....yes it leaks LOL
So....what do I need here?
I'm off to the store to find something that will reduce to a smaller fuel line. That must be what I did last time, no idea....
Or is this because I should have the vacuum actuated petcock? Does that have a larger feed nipple???
I do apologize, I know better than to rev the snot out of a motor that's been sitting this long, but I got excited.
