I know there is a vacuum problem, either the carbs aren't making vac, or the diaphragm in the petcock is injured. Either way the vac isn't working in the petcock ON position. (This is recent occurrence and I will fix it soon). The bike runs WELL in the PRI petcock position until tonight. I start it, it idles, a little fast but is slows after a moment, I push the choke in a little at a time, still idling about 1200 rpm, I twist the throttle to take off and sputter, sputter, dead. It restarts but will not take any fuel. It was working fine when I came home from work Friday afternoon however Friday night, no go. I'm thinking pilot circuit, but could it be related to the vacuum problem?
This is a daily ride; it was running in the C+/B- range before last weekend when I tore into her. It has not been off the road for more than a day or two here and there, so no long sitting. A friend says "thing don't usually break when they are being used, they break when they are stored." I am over due for a value shim checking party; however I don't see that having an effect on the stalling issue.
I’ve searched the forum some, but having little success finding anyone having dealt with these sorts of troubles. Thanks in advance for any and all help,
Bill
