WTH?? No Res from Pri? + Carb ?
04/02/09 at 05:39:26

So I ran out of gas this morning. Riding down the road then put put; no biggie I think, swap to res and no joy. Pull over, bone dry. No gas. Running on PRi means Res doesnt work???

As for the carb question I turned my mixture screw in last night. Running rich and I decided to cut it down a little (this is after a rejet btw). I was able to screw the mixture screw all the way in without the bike running. Even over jetted should it be able to do that? Shouldnt it stall out?

You're not alone Mort. When I first bought my bike, and prior to discovering this site, I thought PRI meant Primary tank and henceforth watched my bike sputter out in a parking space at the 7-11, right in front of about six admiring fellow riders, including an HD riding Chief of Police and 4 of his underlings. EMBARRASSING! Embarrassed

. Fortunately, one of the cops was in his unmarked cage and took me to get some gas. FUEL: 2.2 gallons---RESERVE: .6 gallons.....---PRIME: 5 second carb fill-up. Live & Learn....Learned that one the hard way! Wink
