TT250 petcock blockage

No issue that can't be resolved quickly.

Last two rides on the TT, I've gotten about a mile or so away from the house and the bike sputters and dies. Crank, Crank, Crank, no start. Flip on the choke, Crank, Crank, Crank, no start. Flip to reserve, Crank, Crank, Vroom!

First time I was relatively low on fuel and proceeded to the nearest gas station. Got back to the regular position on the petcock with no problems, 12 miles or so. Second time was today on the way to work with a nearly full tank, in traffic with no place to pull off.

Must be something blocking the screen on the main pick up tube. When I fueled up after the first time the tank filling must have temporarily removed whatever floaty I've got in the tank.

Guess I have an evening project now.
