So I'm riding and the bike boggs down and stops, it won't start up again till I put it on prim then she starts right up and go to go. She has done this to me before at about half a tank but i didn't know the problem, so I drained the tank checked the fuel vent and took the petcock off and checked the strainer and it was clean. I put everything back and filled the tank and it was fine again, till half a full then she acts up. So my diagnoses is the petcock what do you think?

83 gs650g petcock question
Hi there my sweet gs is playing mind games with me but I think I figured out what it is but I need a second opinion.

Check your vacuum line coming off the petcock and make sure it fits snug. Mine did this exact same thing only going uphill after I tried changing the hose to one I thought would fit better. If both of them fit fine then it could possibly be your petcock.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace
