After I went riding today and almost any other time riding after I shut the foreman off it's kinda hard to start. Is this due to my vent lines I have ran up to the light pod or the carb drain being plugged???
The gas goes into the line with it pluged without air. Don't it? I'm going to add some clear line at the end of the drain line so I can tell when it has gas in it and this will also add some drain space.I would think with a sealed tank air would have to be able to get out for the gas to flow in and if air can get in so can water. What about installing a small shut off valve in the line that you could just reach down and turn off without even getting off the bike? I know you can get them as small as 1/4 " and you could even step up to a slightly larger hose to get a valve that fits.
It's really no problem to just slip the drain line on over the boot clamp screw but a valve you could reach from the seat would be convenient if you need to use it often.
You should try riding next time with the drain unplugged to see if it solves your starting problem just to be sure the drain is the problem.
