I just purchased a really clean 1973 TX650 and am just getting familiar with it. Ran perfect on the test ride, but later just running (poorly) on one cylinder. Pulled the tank to check the wiring and it wouldn't come loose. I'll be, there is a second petcock on the other side. Each petcock feeds one carburetor and the fuel lines are a bit short. I'm guessing it will run a lot better if you turn on fuel to both carbs. Now, should I put tees in the fuel lines so it will feed both carbs from either side or is this just greatly increasing the opportunity for fuel leaks? Is best practice to just pull your head out and turn on both petcocks if you want to go for a ride?
