Carb cleaning--Getting away with liquid carb cleaner-Other Carb questions

Harry,

Thanks a lot for your help. I'm pretty sure it is a gas flow problem because 1) It made that sucking noise when I opened the tank and 2) the flow bowls were pretty much empty right after it died.

I took off the petcock and inspected the fuel filter. It looks like it has some rust dust on it, and also the membrane is ruptured near the top. I will replace the fuell filter. I also inspected the air intake hole on top of the bike, and sprayed a little bit of carb cleaner in there. Is there a better way to make sure that hole is not clogged? I'm suspecting that is the problem.

I tried running the bike with the gas tank open. Gas started to flow out of one of the carb overflow valves (those nipple like things on the bottom of the flow bowl) and the pod filters also got wet with gas.

Thanks for your help! I also started a new thread under "gas flow problems."
