So, is it a clogged jet? or passage?
Guess I will be tearing her carb apart and finding the issue.

Sure sounds like fuel isn't getting through the carb.
But, Why would it be puking fuel IF the float valve is working?

Again, a tiny bit of crap in the needle/ seat area will cause problems.

reminds me of leaving mine sit, only to discover goop left over from evaporated gas. The bowl can be empty if left to sit long enough and for those still running the stock petcock, if it's been a while, put it on prime, give it a second, then poke the button.

What did you see in the bowl?

Nothing much in the bowl.... kind of gritty at the bottom, but not loose, I had to scrape the small thin coating with my fingernail and calloused fingertip

I received parts for the truck again, so tomorrow (sat) I will be yet again pulling the drive shaft to put on the front slip yoke assembly.

So it will probably be sunday before I can look at it again.
I am going to go ahead and pull the carb, she won't be riding the bike anyway because of the "cold streak" lol, only down into the 50's at night and low 70's and possibly high 60's during the day.
Time for her to start putting on her long john's

I had been riding it every two weeks to make it happy, but skipped one weekend and it ended up about a month and a week before she hopped on it and found the problem.

Also, the fuel enrichment knob out it runs... not correctly, but it will hold an idle. So fuel in, is definitely the problem, I just don't know the innards of the carb enough to make my hypothesis... and then again... I would have to be educated to make that decision

Thanks for the inputs....
