The RYCA conversions have little tanks and trip odometers, and mine has a raptor. -- So far, after about eight fill-ups, this setup starts the fuel-starvation miss at 61 to 66 miles. -- The standard drill, then, is to fill up at about 60 miles, or,.... wait until it starts stuttering, move the raptor to RES, then get some gas within the next 10 or 15 miles. This procedure reminds me of the days when all motorcycles were like this,... my first two real motorcycles: Ducati 250 Monza, Norton Atlas 750.
I think I'll try to run it out of gas altogether sometime to see how long it takes to use up the reserve fuel. I'll stay close to gas stations, and carry along a quart of gas in an old oil bottle.
I agree with the lawn mower comments, plus I don't think the stuff sticking down inside the tank would have room to operate properly.
