No way 👺 you are a mad scientist

[@MonkeyButtRides]

I'm def mad...lol

[@NooBiker]

Good detective work. I was thinking float bowl shut off was stuck but petcock seems a more likely culprit

[@MonkeyButtRides]

Thx, I think I'm going to install a custom shutoff valve just to be safe.

[@cav581979]

Oh man, that's rough having a new part fail. Awesome troubleshooting. Looking forward to part 2. Hopefully, the baster was cleaned before going back into the kitchen 😂🤣

[@MonkeyButtRides]

My wife wouldn't let that back in the house let alone the kitchen, it is a garage tool going forward...🤣

[@cav581979]

@@MonkeyButtRides I think every man can relate to that 🤣😂

[@Idkclipse]

I had no idea what any of this meant dad but the music was good!

[@Idkclipse]

and the editing

[@MonkeyButtRides]

@@Idkclipse thankyou

[@outdoorsjoe1]

As long it didn't run or atleast for any real amount of time you are ok. The needle and seats didn't hold for some reason. The vacuum safety valve must have failed as well. Love the video as always!

[@shazshaz7045]

I was getting gas in my oil I picked up a full titanium exhaust system and rebuilt the carbs with all new parts and re jetted it for the exhaust

[@HippoDrones]

Ahh that is a pain, hope you can get it sorted and the fuel hasn't gotten to the seals in the engine

[@MonkeyButtRides]

Pain is correct. I think it will be ok but who knows. The troublesome part is the vacum petcock was new, I ordered another new one but I'm thinking maybe I install a valve/manual petcock between the carbs and vacum one but IDK.

[@HippoDrones]

@@MonkeyButtRides that could be a nice failsafe addition

[@poofingerMcGee]

Great troubleshooting brotha brotha -- bike sure is pretty. I need to get a new battery for old red then we gotta get the bikes out!

[@MonkeyButtRides]

Thx man. Warmer weather is right around the corner! We need to ride!

[@VerrillTheWolf]

im currently restoring a 97 suzuki gsxr600 srad,only need harness and battery now

[@MonkeyButtRides]

Sounds like you are very close!!

[@RoadsOfOz]

Man that is frustrating. New parts not working as they should.

[@MonkeyButtRides]

I know right!!!

[@sean-san7074]

Damn dude, I hate when my petcock leaks.... 🤣🤣 I'm sure you'll get is sorted out.

[@MonkeyButtRides]

😂🤣

[@hachewie]

Ahhh man. That sux.

[@hachewie]

Hopefully it is only the petcock. Good luck man.

[@MonkeyButtRides]

thx chewie, still looking forward to taking this bike out on some more short trips like I did last year. But this makes me cringe you know. Happy it didn't happen when I rode it to new mexico.

[@hachewie]

@@MonkeyButtRides That would double suck. It's a cool little bike. You've done and awesome job. Love the orange. Makes it pop.

[@shazshaz7045]

I need a motor for my 96 srad do you have one for sale or know anybody with one

[@MonkeyButtRides]

I don't know anyone sorry and I can't imagine there are to many left out there. I wish you luck in your hunt.

[@shazshaz7045]

There are a few I seen on eBay I’m going to grab one I think you have a good day man I can’t wait until my srad is back in action I love that bike man
