Most of the selectors are no good. Either from the gunk causing internal issues and or the cleaning itself. They suck air and the ski runs poorly. $20 for a replacement.

You dont want a bad fuel valve to turn into a melted top end
If you can't get fuel from the tank to the filter the only thing between them is the selector.
Once they start sucking air you don't get fuel. I haven't seen one that was cleaned that didn't start sucking air. The rubber in them goes bad or they are still partially clogged.

I'd replace it no matter what. That said, bypass it and see if you get fuel. Pretty common for the water separated O-ring to let air into the system.
The 951 is higher priced.

You should be able to down load the repair manual off the Internet for free. These are not the usual animals to work on or operate. Use the correct oil ! I would drain and clean tank and put correct oil in. To be safe. Remember that all the fasteners on them are metric. Including the hex ( Allen ) drive fasteners. Do not use regular Allen wrenches on them. Get the metric 3/8 drive hex bits. Be very careful to not cross thread fasteners. It's a real bear to get a snapped bolt out of an engine that's in a 2 x 3 foot hole. All fasteners are Stainless Steel. It pays to have a towel below where your working. To catch dropped stuff. After riding check your bilges for bilge treasure. Old dropped fasteners and stuff will be to the rear of the engine.
HD has stainless bolts. Far end of the Fastener section.
The line marked #2 runs to the bottom port on the fuel switch
The grey line with lettering runs to the "Y" located near the fuse box
The other blank grey line runs down under the engine to the top of the front carb
The other black un marked line runs to the top port on the fuel switch
Maybe I have these lines wrong? But I think according to the downloadable diagram they should be right

Is 125 psi too low ?
On the fuel baffle it actually is marked. RES is the reserve port on the selector. ON is on port of selector. Middle port on selector goes to fuel filter. VNT goes to the Y up near fuse box. RET comes from the body of the carb. If everything is correct with the fuel on remove the return line from the carb and cover the hose with your finger you should be able to blow into the vent line and fuel will dribble out of the return fitting of the carb. This is how I prime the system whenever I replace fuel lines.

Pull the choke all the way out when you run the starter. It helps to gain vacuum to pull fuel to carbs. Still no fuel,use a pop off tester or other low pressure gauge and air source. To look for air leaks in the fuel system. It is easier to suck air then fuel. First place to look is in the front. The water separator / fuel filter, has the gasket fail all the time. The two piece oil tank can leak air too. Manual has the test procedure. No manual? You can down load for free off the Internet.
