Ok, so I changed the spark plugs first thing this morning. The front ones pissed me off. Held my breath, hit the start and bang, first click, started like a dream, purred like a kitten, till the fuel ran out. So i take off the fuel filter, and there is nothing coming out of the line from the gas tank. SOOOO, now i'm guessing that the broken off petcock is turned to off, and no gas is coming from the tank. Blah. I'm now in the process of removing the petcock. Any suggestions?

Ok, thanks for the help guys. I took off the side plate, and I can not hear the fuel pump. I hear a buzzing at the front where the fuel pump relay is supposed to be I believe. But nothing at the pump. SOOOO, that means a new pump. I found the fuel filter there at the pump, so i'm gonna change that in the process. So, I found this in the first gen tech section about a fuel pump from advance #e8055 that someone had used on an 86. Do you guys think this would be ok for my 83? I'm gonna change the plugs, oil, coolant, drain the gas, and change the fuel filter tomorrow. So we'll see what happens. Thanks again!

Ok, so apparantly it's an early 83. It has off and on only and no cut out for the petcock. But I got another problem. the knob is broken off. There is just enough to grab with a pair of vice grips. But do I need to turn it all the way right for on or all the way left? If the knob were there it would be no problem. Anyway, thanks guys.

Thank you very much gentlemen. I really appreciate it.

Ok, I just bought (today) an 83 Ventrue. I don't want to sound retarded, but this is the first venture i've had. Does the bike have a fuel petcock to turn the fuel off like most bikes? If it does where the heck is it! I'm having trouble with the bike starting. It acts like it isn't getting fuel, so first thought, fuel is turned off. But then I can't find the petcock. SOOOOOO, any helpful hints, tips, and suggestions would be great. The bike seems to be in pretty good shape, ecspecially considering I only paid $400 for it. Thanks!
