Post by: Crucialval on May 08, 2007, 11:41:20 AM
Ok, yesterday I was on my way home "50 miles" when my bike started choke out like it was out of gas. I stopped looked in the tank it had plenty :dunno_white:

I tried restarting but only lasted a few seconds.

next thing I know one of my friends pull to help and had a two bike trailer with him. da8m I lucky, well at least a little. he towed me home .

could be a vapor lock.
Try opening your petcock to PRI, or res. Also opening your gas tank, and even squezzing your fuel line.
Some things to think about next time.
The petcock diaphram could be suspect, or the vacuum line from the carbs to the petcock.
