Runs out of gas

One thing I noticed is the fuel line really never fills up all the way to the tank. There is always an air bubble in the line above the filter. Any thoughts or suggestions? Should I order a duel outlet petcock?
Thanks

And assure no crud floating inside tank and obstructing the petcock intake tube screen. Tank might require flushing.
Good Luck!

did you Kreem the tank with the petcock installed? If you did
In the immortal words of Mythbusters
"Well there's your problem!"!
You sealed the screens on top of the petcock. Id take apart the whole petcock to make sure it didn't get down in there too! But you will need new screens for the top and maybe the bowl screen too.

I installed a single outlet petcock in lieu of the duel outlet. I just added a brass T and split the line to the separate carb feeds.
WiredGeorge (or Others): I was wondering about this myself (see quote).
Maybe not ideal setup but is there really anything wrong in configuring this way regarding fuel flow to the carb's?
Reason I ask, I was thinking of doing the same thus eliminating extra fuel lines, more lines of kinks/possible leaks/extra filters etc... For esthetic's as well...
Thanks,

I do recall where WG had said he has done this before with no issues. The way I have it done is a filter in-line then a short piece of tube maybe 4†and the a ¼†brass “T†and then separate lines to the carbs. I wont go as far a saying it is cleaner looking this way because you do have more hardware involved. I may just put on a duel outlet if I can’t find solve problem I’m having.
