Hey all,
Just picked up an 03 Savage as a commuter bike, and I'm having an intermittent problem that may be related to some of the other posts I've seen...but wanted to solicit some opinions...
Cruising down the road at 65...bike is warmed up, choke is in. A few stutters of the engine felt through the bars, then total loss of RPMs. On pulling over, if I fiddle with the petc0ck, I can get the engine to restart, and proceed normally from there.
I've ruled out fuel exhaustion, and the electrical system is running strong throughout these episodes. It -feels- like what happens when a bike runs out of gas on the mains, and consumes the last of what's in the carb...but from what I've seen, people have seen similar behavior with carb flooding due to a bad fuel valve.
Any thoughts as to what I should troubleshoot first? The bike is bone-stock, and only has about 2000 miles on it at this point. Runs reasonably well in all other phases, aside from the usually hyper-lean condition (spacer mod may happen this weekend).
Thanks! -Jason
