TT 250 Fuel Line
Well after a day of frustration I learned the hard way that the Fuel Lines on the TT aren't ethanol friendly. I was experiencing periods where the bike would run great and then shut off and after it sat for a few minutes it would start again only to shut off a few minutes later. I found that the fuel line downstream from the filter was almost completely blocked so I'm pretty sure that the Ethanol in the fuel that I've been running is the main culprit. So I guess I'll have to start carrying some ethanol treatment with me for when I can't get ethanol free gas.

Just install a better quality fuel line. I've found that the rubber on my Chinese stuff deteriorates very quickly anyway.

Go to your local saw shop and get some snow machine line. Lasts a long time, isn't eaten up by alcohol, can handle all kinds of adverse weather and is clear so you can see if you have fuel. It's all I run.
Plus, the stock fuel filter is junk. Like ARH says, get an American made filter. They should have those at a saw shop too.

2LZ is right...I had one that would puke every time it got good and warmed up...I wouldn't be shocked if it isn't as simple as the CDI needing changed out...so it does happen and is easily fixed.

Well the TT is back on the road. I just changed out the exciter coil and took it for a 15 mile or so test run and didn't have any issues. The job was a little more involved than anticipated since the exciter coil and stator are one assembly. At any rate the job is done and the bike is back on the streets again.
