Been Around the Block
This bike is pretty much finished except for brake work and tying up a few loose ends.
I encountered the following problem yesterday:
While racing on my 1982 CB900F, at high speed, the engine sputters and dies, as if its run out of fuel. The fuel cap vents are clear, Im pretty sure the carbs are clean, so Im thinking it might be the AFV - Automatic Fuel Valve, though I will double-check the carbs. I really *HOPE* its not the carbs.
A friend advised that I bypass the AFV, but I have read some ppl have had the experience of their motor hydrolocking when a float got stuck, and the AFV had been removed: so fuel flowed right into the engine.
Im pretty sure this problem isnt electrical, but is related to fuel delivery. Has anyone had this issue, or an experience like it?
Thanks!
