You can't suck gas threw a vacuum assisted fuel pump... that I know of.

They are the same fuel pumps that are used on most snowmobiles.

Take a peek here and see if you can find a pic of your fuel pump.

Usually the 50's are gravity fed from the tank unless they are fuel injected instead of carb. There should be a petcock with 3 connections on it: 1 for fuel in, one for fuel out, and another for vacuum. If connected properly, it should allow fuel through when vacuum is applied. You can test by sucking n the vacuum line. If it doesn't work, then your petcock is bad and you need a new one.

In addition to what Firehawk posted,If the vacuum hose going to the petcock has a vacuum leak,the petcock will not open. That happened to me once.

You have 3 other threads going saying about the same thing.

Maybe its time to take it to the shop and let them fix it for ya.

You would of been riding it weeks ago if you did.

I'm not being mean at ya, its just my opinion.
