The Petcock Poltergeist Strikes AGAIN!
12/19/08 at 17:57:21

Well, for a long time i thought my bike was having carburetor issues. It would run for a little while, die on me, Crank, Crank, Crank, Crank, Ker-Pow!! Off I go again! It would only happen to me at idle, so i was thinking it was the darned idler jet..... but no...

I was riding on this amazing "winter" day. (its about 70 here in texas), and she was doin' fine, then she dies again! So i switched her to prime....

no more problems!!!!

Thanks for all the help on all of my past posts.

Reply #2 - 12/19/08 at 22:29:02 Thanks, I recently replaced the vac line with higher gauge hose. And i've not had a problem with turning it off yet. We'll see if i can make it a habit before i forget.
