As many mechanical problems it not just one thing. I had some sort of fuel starvation problem when I got the bike a few weeks ago. Go about a mile it would sputter & stall. Sometimes impossible to restart.
1. So first thing was to take vent out of right fuel cap & it would go further but still would eventually stall & finally it would not restart at all.
2. Hauled to okcthunder for tune up, dyno & help. Fuel line more than twice too long & fuel could not get to carb fast enough.
3. Ran much better but still would eventually have to losen left unvented cap (right side vented cap didn't seem to help) as bike would start to sputter going down highway. Lost cap once - no fun.
4. Pulled dash & pulled vent line between tanks. Left inlet tube totally blocked by I guess tank sealant. Cleared the obstruction & she runs like a scalded cat or should I say dog.
A big thanks to this forum & all the posters because I don't think I would have figured this out on my own
