The petcock has two vacuum tubes; one goes to the carb, and one is a vent. I'm guessing the vent is the one plugged by the nail? When I was testing mine, trying to remember which hose went where, it seemed that plugging the vent shut the petcock off.

I didnt mess with it last night, took the dog for a walk, made dinner, had a few...I just didnt make it into the shed.  I believe the plugged tube did come from the petcock area.  I know I discoed the one from the petcock to the tank, yes, positive on that.  so that thing is vacuum operated?  I have to remove a spring on a diaphragm?  that sounds like something I might want to do.  I do have a weird issue with it cutting out, one time I couldn't get it started again.  those antigravity batteries are 'spensive!  I saw a shorai Li battery on rockymtnatv, $140 or so.
