Does the tank have any rust in it?
There is a small strainer/filter in the
carb fuel hose bib. Also carefully check
the slide valve diaphragm, any tear will
prevent the slide valve from opening fully.

Never saw a fuel line collapse. Is tank fuel vent open? California bike???

Carb Cleaning 101

I wanted to document my carb tear-down, in case anyone wanting to do this with/without the manual could do so pretty easily. I will also have this in Word format to e-mail out to anyone needing it. I did a search for this and didnt find anything like it on the board. It might be somewhere else...

Fuel flow right of the petcock should have a flow as large as the ID when vacuum applied to the petcock. Vacuum applied should hold the petcock open. One rider used a syringe to
hold valve open.. How many "tees" on the vacuum circuit?

V&H pipes so PAIR valve should have been removed and reed valves capped. Only one vacuum TEE should be in use.
