Doc,
I've had the petcock apart and cleaned it all out. Nothing really in there.
Now, it is 11 years old and isn't "shiny new" any longer.
W&G,
Yep, the filter is rarely "full" but I can see a change in the level when nearing reserve. It goes from 1/4 to 1/2 full to barely a streak on the bottom.
The symptoms are stuttering and poor acceleration, occasional pop, just like you're running out of gas. On reserve and plenty of fuel sloshing around???
I've tried opening the gas cap for more venting, switching the petcock around to clear any possible debris.
I can barely make it to the gas station. Ride a couple of miles til it barely runs, sit on the roadside for a bit and it'll run again for a few miles.
Fill it up and all is well, even on Reserve???
All I gotta do is get gas at 150 miles... :wink:
That tells me that I'm not getting enough of a pressure head to flow well when it starts getting empty and that's where I'm stumped.
Guess I need to go into the carbs again and check the float needle.
