'01 M750 Carb'd Fuel Problem

[ldouce90]

Just a quick question, I've got a 2001 Carbureted M750 with 73xx miles that I purchased last year. Whenever I try to start, the bike cranks but it's not getting any fuel... I just ordered a new petcock valve since I was pretty sure that was the problem, but is there anyway to test the fuel pump before it gets here?

You can remove the line entering the carbs and crank the motor. Fuel should pulse from the line as the motor cranks over.

If the vacuum valve is bad you would need to bypass that to perform the test.
