[QUOTE="Michael Vane-Hunt, post: 125181, member: 1067"] I have run my twin with the Mikuni front fuel line as in the picture I posted. I have big bore petcocks. I do not use a reserve type petcock. I leave the right hand petcock closed. I run with only the left petcock open. I can and have gone up many of the passes in BC. I have gone up the Beartooth in Montanna. I ride as fast as I can go mostly in 4th gear 70-75 MPH one up fully loaded. I am heavy. I have run out of fuel several times, ask Glen Breakes, and gone onto the left tap to squeeze out a few more miles each time. I have never had any of the problems mentioned about running the fuel line up and over the top of the carb. Same arrangement on the Comet. I guess I am lucky as I have been riding thus for 20 years. John McDougal set up the carb configuration and Vincent-wise he made very few mistakes. [/QUOTE]
