Just installed pamco ignition / cleaned carbs / installed new fuel line and adjusted floats on my 1975 xs650. I opened my petcocks and found my fuel line wasn't filling up all the way and leaking a bit, also had a little bit of fuel coming from the jet needle hole on the left carb. So I tightend up the clamp on the fuel line and turned the ignition switch on. Once I saw that the lights were turning on with the ignition switch on I turned it off and a loud Hiss came from my carburetor. I don't get why this would happen without giving it a kick start... Anyone have any ideas ?
