after riding for a while my bike spits and sputters and then dies seems like its not geting fuel. it sits for a bit then starts up and runs for a few miles then dies and so on and so on . please help

Check for an inline fuel filter. If it has one, replace it. Sounds like it's clogged and that'll do that. Check over the petcock to make sure it works properly. Could even be the fuel pump. I beleive the 88's had a fuel pump. Yeah, it is running out of gas somewhere, just a matter finding where. From the tank to the carbs, check everything in between.

it was my low pressure fuel pump it would heat up then die replaced it with a $160 honda pump runs great. thanks

Howdy, is there a vacume line pinched, to the petcock??? is there a vent,to the tank... when it stops again... pop the cap, and listen for a whoosh. honda manuels should show vent/vacume lines, and routing. also there should be a test, for pump rate... so many oz's per seconds. cheaper to diagnose than replace. Good luck!!!!!! Clean and free, Ripp'n
