^I think you need to check your petcock again, disconnect fuel line, turn to on position, suck on vacuum line and fuel should flow out. Is that how you checked it last time?

Why would you need a spare key? I am assuming this means my key should not come out with it in the ON position? My key removes just as easily regardless of what position it is in. Once turned to the OFF position i do not need the key to turn it ON (anything will turn it), but it will not go into or out of LOCK without the key being inserted.

idk if this makes sense but it i guess smells like it might have a vacuum leak and it wont start unless the chokes "off". Weird I think.
