Hi, new to the site and hoping for some help with this many year project. Bought this '72 750 a few years back and have been fooling around with it for a bit having bought in 8 boxes with the engine torn down. Put that back together and now I am trying to determine if I have a "runner" or not which was the sage advice given me from a mechanic friend - before investing lots of $$. At the stage of setting up the carburetors and trying to determine if I can test this without completely connecting everything - plus it looks like a brass jet is missing from the bottom of the nearest carb. Basically, can i run gas from a hanging bottle through the fuel valve and into the two main hose that attach to the Y valve and see what happens? Once i buy a battery that is. Thanks for your time - all insights most appreciated.
