i cant seem to get my bike running good. I cleaned the carbs and rebuilt them using k and l brass. Stock exhaust and air filter. New 5/16 fuel line, with no in line filters or anything. Clean petcock filter and no rust in the tank. Bike ran great after it was put together, throttle was nice and crisp, had good power through out the range. Bike randomly died and wont start, and when it does it wont stay running. Dont know what else to do. Charging system is good, new battery, full charge.

bike seems to be tuned right, no smoke out the exhaust and i pulled a plug off and it was a light tan. -
Pull your spark plugs and take a look at them.

I would suspect fuel delivery. Somehow your carbs starve for fuel. Does it happen while the bike is running hard or just idleing? Did you test the petcock vacuum by sucking on the vacuum hose and watching the fuel flow?Comment

thanks for the replies. I think i nailed the problem. The fuel line was too long and kinking in a area i couldnt see. I cut it down and wrapped it in tape so it wouldnt kink again. runs good now.Comment
