It can be tough to know when you've solved it with an intermittent problem. You just have to ride around wondering, did I get it? Or is it gonna' get me again on the next corner?
Best of luck.. be safe

I just went to Autozone/Home depot to get clear plastic tubing to do what Reelthing said and it ran fine.

I think she wants to leave Kentucky.

You know,I was thinking the same thing!! It seems you only have a problem while in Kentucky

And yes,I was just cutting up, that no one pays attention to my ideas....but I do understand about ex's also Roll Eyes

One day you will have such a feel/sense for your bike that you'll trust yourself before a mechanic...those will be Happy Days

I dont trust mechanics too much now....they leave you hanging....kinda like a ex-husband...LOL....I think I need coffee

Left turn to Clermont, fine. Yay!

Right turn into Bernheim and she quits.

Guess I'll have to take the carb apart to see if the diaphragm is going.

Bernheim Forest! - many ill guided afternoons spent in that place - 3 small lakes stacked to feed water to each other - with enough bluegill to entertain a person - the best crappie fishing I ever saw was at the small lake in front on the Jim Beam distillery across the street - small fish but you could sure catch more than you want. Fine area.

wonder if the right hand turns are a clue or just happen stance - sure wound hurt to check the float level - just put a small piece of clear fuel tube on the carb drain turned upward and see where the level is

Got the tube. Do I need to turn it to prime to check this?

get the bike level and vertical as you can - switch to pri, loop the clear hose from the drain to some place above the carb - I'm away from the bikes and books - but the level should be just a little bit lower than the bowl gasket 1/4" or so - believe the clymers and the Suzuki shop manual - both list the fuel height.

so can you make it happen going in clockwise circles?

So far no. Should have been a lefty I guess. I'll go out and check the level.

Found the level amount in the Clymers. 26.95-28.95mm Not quite sure how to measure that but I find a measuring tape and see if I can get it to work. Back in a bit.
