    That would be a good probability.

    I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. H.D.T.

      Did you do this yet? These bikes do not like inline filters.

        Does your bike have points?
        Could be your condensers crapping out when they get hot as others have pointed out in earlier posts.

          Blocked or pinched off vent line can slowly cause 'vapor lock" as it were from not allowing the bowls to equalize with atmospheric pressure. Can check by blowing into the vent lines to see if there air transfer. Some fuel may spill out the front of the carbs but that's normal with the check.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
