Re: Fuel tank vent hose

[Eric Sheley <eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan, when you blew into the lines, were they installed (were the lines at
the bottom of the bike)? 

When I first blew into mine, I had pulled the line and had the check valve
upside down. Leaving it in its installed orientation showed that it was
upside down. I removed it completely and had no more problems.
