Default Stalling Out

Here is the problem! Bike starts fine, I go to ride it and after about 2 miles it starts acting like it is not getting fuel. I pulled over and looked at the fuel line, it was not kinked. After sitting for about 2 or 3 minutes, I started the bike and it ran for 2 or 3 minutes and then stalled out again. Mind you, I am ridng it for these 2 or 3 minutes, at idle it runs fine.

Can anyone please help me???

umm, your air filter may be clogged? or leaking, your a/f screw may be improperly set, idk random shots in the dark

sounds like the fuel flow is too low. it's flowing enough to keep the carbs full enough for idle, but riding is draining them faster than they can fill. check your flow. i'd bet there is a restriction somewhere in the line or petcock.

you do have the petcock rotated fully counter clockwise, and have a full tank of fuel I am assuming?


Might be time to pull the petcock assembly and check filter screens for clogging, and maybe test the petcock for flow rate.

also - check your 2 tank vent lines, make sure they're not plugged/kinked. If the tank can't pull in air to replace the fluid being sucked by the carbs, it can create a vacuum that can overcome the pull of the carbs.

One other thing to check - carb boots - if you've serviced the carbs recently, make sure they're seated well and not leaking air. If you haven't looked at them in a while, make sure you dont have one that's cracked and sucking in extra air.
