[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1412121, member: 3828"] The hydrolock problem on Kawasaki Concours was a combination of two failures simultaneously. The vacuum operated petcock and the fuel float valve in one of the carburetors had to fail at the same time. Failure of either alone would not fill the cylinder with fuel. Many COG members would add an electrical solenoid valve between the vacuum valve and the carbs as extra insurance against it. FJRs have no carb and no vacuum petcock. Without power the fuel pump wont run. Dont think the Connie problem is at all related. [/QUOTE]
