Title: I have a problem
Post by: mach1 on July 28, 2007, 04:58:27 PM
So I am riding my bike and go to fill up, The gas station I usually fill up at is closed, So I use the station across the street and now when im riding my bike will Hunt/Search when Im at at speed. Keep in mind I used 89oct. Instead of 87.

sounds like water or a partial clog in the fuel system/carbs.possibly petcock diaphram.

get the gas station thing out of your head, it could be coincidence

Could be, I suppose, but you should shave more often.  I've heard that Occam branded patent razors are quite useful at times.

Occam's Razor: entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity.

Or in retard:  Try the simplest solution first.

Which in this case is: remove tank.  Drain tank from petcock opening.  Refill with known good gas.  See if bike runs better.
