Well, there's something weird going on with this thing. On Monday morning, the thing died while on the way to work. I managed to get it home without having to push too far. It would start, run crappy, then die. Sit for a few minutes, repeat. Start, run crappy, then die.
So, this week, I had the carbs apart, and cleaned them thoroughly. They were clean to begin with, but I went ahead anyway. After a few hiccups that were the result of my plugging the bowl vent, I got 'em back on and got the thing running. It fired right up, and idled nicely. Last night, I took 'er for a ride of about 30 minutes. It ran OK, but not great. It's pretty lean. Modified exhaust, pod air filters, stock jetting....you know the drill. But, it ran. Once it got good heat into it, it behaved quite nicely as long as I didn't get too far into the throttle. I figured it was OK to ride to work this morning.
Wrong. It started right up, and I let it warm up a bit. I got to the end on the neighborhood and it dies and will not start. Acting like it's out of fuel. Tank is full, petcock on "prime" position. So, I push it the two blocks back to the house and parked it.
Tonight, I'll see if it will start and run. Same symptoms as Monday before going through the carbs. Same outside temps. Low 50s. Last night when I rode it, it was about 78°
Very curious.
At any rate, the immediate plan is to change out the vacuum petcock. But since it was on "prime" position, I would think that it would get fuel regardless.
